REACH is Slalom's Black employee resource group, dedicated to attracting, connecting, retaining, and advancing Black employees.
Reach out. Reach back. Reach within.
REACH (Recruiting, Education, Authenticity, Community, Heritage) is a family of empowered and engaged employees focused on helping each other succeed professionally and personally. Our vision is one in which Black employees thrive at all levels, including executive leadership. We are also dedicated to recruiting, mentoring, and engaging with our community to cultivate the next generation of Black professionals.
I’m here today because somebody reached out to me when I was looking to make a career choice. I want Slalom to be more reflective of our communities, and that requires a hands-on approach.

This is a place where I feel that I can be open about my experiences as a Black man in a way that I have not before.

The annual global REACH meet-up, November 2019, with members from across Slalom office locations.
I’ve never worked at a place where the phrase ‘be your authentic self’ was a mantra. As a Black woman, that means a lot. It means I don’t have to wear my hair a certain way or pretend to have the same hobbies or habits of anyone else. I can be myself, work hard, and that can be enough.
Strength in diversity
Slalom is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce that embraces a breadth of people and perspectives and reflects the communities in which we work and live.
