Belonging & Inclusion

An inclusive culture for all employees drives better insights and stronger teams

Great research starts with great people—and science backs it. When people feel seen, supported and valued, they do their best work. And it’s a proven fact that inclusive environments improve data accuracy and participant engagement, which leads to richer insights and smarter decisions. That’s why we embed a culture of belonging and inclusion into how we lead, how we listen and how we learn.

A holistic approach to building an inclusive culture in the workplace

At Hall & Partners, we focus on building an inclusive culture where different perspectives aren’t just welcomed—they’re essential to how we work and grow.

We’re part of Escalent Group, where belonging, inclusion and cultural intelligence extend across our people, our practices and our client work. That includes improving the employee experience, using inclusive research practices in client engagements and creating space for continuous learning and connection. It’s a whole-business approach—practical, people-driven and focused on what moves us forward together.

Our goal? To create a workplace where everyone can contribute fully, feel a sense of belonging and do their best work every day.

Powered by our Belonging & Inclusion Network

The Belonging & Inclusion Network is a global, employee-led ecosystem that spans Escalent Group, giving people broad exposure across teams, time zones and perspectives. It’s open to all employees—whether you’re looking to build community through shared identity, learn from new perspectives or engage around common interests. This network is where global community leads to connection—and connection sparks action. It includes:

• Belonging Resource Groups like our Asian and Pacific Islander, Black, Diverse Abilities Network, Hispanic and Latin American, and LGBTQIA+ groups—open to all who identify and those who want to listen, learn and show support through allyship, develop programs, resources and initiatives that nurture, recruit, and promote diverse talent at all levels of the organization
• Shared Interest Groups including recipe, music, mental health, parents and caretakers, pets, run club and more—SIGs are like a virtual watercooler for Escalent Group, where fun and connection happen across roles and regions (plus anyone can start a new one!)
• Inclusive Culture Group, our team that develops programs, communications, tools and best practices to bring our inclusive culture to life across Escalent Group
• Cultural Advisory Group, a global network of multicultural experts whose lived experience, industry expertise and cultural fluency inform how we research, analyze, and represent underrepresented audiences in our client work
