Tuck’s Net Positive Impact

“For their own good, companies must play an active role in solving our biggest shared challenges. The economy won’t thrive unless people and the planet are thriving.”

– Paul Polman & Andrew Winston in The Net Positive Manifesto

* * *

At Tuck, values matter. Whether you’re an employee, vendor, partner, or client, we have to see values alignment to be able to achieve great things together.

Our #1 rule is that everyone is striving to have a net positive impact. We aren’t talking idealism. We are talking about treating team members well, operating with integrity, and always acknowledging that there are others out there that are expert at something different than us.

This page is dedicated to describing the ways that we are striving to have a net positive impact on the people and communities around us.

At Tuck, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are woven into the fabric of our firm. As project managers, our value lies in our ability to bring together diverse teams with unique skill sets to achieve a common goal.

That value goes beyond helping a developer understand a designer’s vision or translating a CFO’s love of spreadsheets into a blueprint for how a systems analyst designs an ERP.

We bring the kind of talent that values geographic, physical, social, neurological, economic, and experiential diversity on every team, whether they have a Tuck email address or if they work for a client, vendor, or partner.

What does DEIB mean to us?

Diversity

The background and experiences contributing to each person’s uniqueness.

Including, but not limited to: Race, Ethnicity, National Origin, Gender, Gender Identity, Sexual Orientation, Age,
Religion, Socioeconomic Status, Ability, Hairstyle, Religion, Political Affiliations/Beliefs.

Equity

Creating an environment that accommodates individual interests, uniqueness, and opportunities while removing barriers to success.

 

 

 

Inclusion

Valuing each team member’s ideas and inviting their perspectives, encouraging inclusivity, building trust, and creating an environment of psychological safety.

Belonging

Welcoming various perspectives, holding the door open for those who haven’t been invited before, creating space for people to be their authentic selves, meeting them where they are, and proactively supporting them, including through mentorship.

How Do We Measure Impact?

Consultants

We measure the diversity of our consultants by comparing the percentage and pay of consultants from different demographic groups.

Partners

We measure the diversity of our partner pool by comparing the percentage and pay of partners from different demographic groups.

Talent

We prioritize talent platforms that yield a more diverse pool of candidates and leverage messaging in job descriptions to signal more diverse applicants. 

Transparency

We say what we mean. This page is intended to eliminate ambiguity and signal to our consultants, partners, clients, and companies that we value DEIB.

At Tuck, we prioritize working with companies, clients, partners, and consultants who align with our values and share our vision of making this world a better place.

Servant Leadership

We exist to help others succeed – clients furthering their missions, professionals seeking meaningful work, and communities becoming stronger.

 

Integrity

We hire honest, transparent, and dependable team members, and we look for clients and vendors that do the same.

 

Growth

We are a team of life-long learners with a desire to gain new knowledge from others, especially those with different ideas, beliefs, and life experiences.

Good project managers bring what PMI calls “power skills” to the table – something AI cannot. From PMI’s Pulse of the Profession® 2023 report: “Power skills — also known as interpersonal skills or soft skills such as communication, problem-solving and collaborative leadership — are proving essential for project professionals. They are at the heart of leading successful teams, engaging stakeholders and conquering challenges to the project plan. Technical skills enable project managers to chart the path from the start of a project to close, but power skills are how they bring the entire team along for the journey to execute a common vision.”
