HGA Careers, Benefits, Review

Cultivating Equity is one of the three pillars of our strategic plan. We are committed to diversity and inclusivity within our firm, in the communities we serve, and in our industry in general. We are exploring what it means to look at all our work through an equity lens.

At HGA we believe great design requires great minds. We seek to attract and hold on to the best talent, not only diverse in discipline but also race, culture, gender identity, physical ability, religion, sexual orientation, and life experience—a collective that reflects the world as it is today.

Our equity strategies include:

• Internal equity initiatives
• Addressing the pipeline
• Partnerships
• Community Action
• Equity in design

See our diversity and inclusion section on our company website for more updates and programs on diversity and inclusion at HGA.

BEYOND GOOD DESIGN. DESIGN FOR GOOD.

We are a design firm made up of individuals. Specifically, more than 900 passionate, creative, generous people who want to make our world a better place. That’s a lot of potential to create impact in our local communities. Inspired by our founders’ early work in education and the arts, and propelled by current employees’ commitment to civic engagement, HGA invests time, resources, and expertise to create positive local impact. We believe it’s not just corporate responsibility: it’s human responsibility. 

HGA Community Action began in 2015 as a grassroots, employee-initiated effort to enhance the social impact of our work across the country. By donating the firm’s time, talents, and resources in close collaboration with local organizations, HGA is creating positive change in our communities while providing opportunities to learn and grow as a team. 

IT ALL ADDS UP
