What’s the 4C Model?
The 4C Model was designed by Robert Rodriguez, PhD and DRR Advisors, LLC provides a multidimensional perspective on Employee/Associate Resource Groups effectiveness.

The Value of Employee/Associate Resource Groups
Companies that have Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) departments maximize the multicultural fiber of their employees. The study Diversity Matters published in 2015 by the global consulting company McKinsey & Company revealed that companies who embrace ethnic diversity, register 35% higher profits and companies that promote gender diversity, have accounted for a 15% increase in revenues. Read more here.
