Our Philosophy

Day One works with indus­try lead­ers to sup­port the pur­suit of excel­lence across rev­enue and non-rev­enue func­tions. We con­struc­tive­ly chal­lenge clients to talk straight, take per­son­al risks with integri­ty and make com­mit­ted deci­sions that cre­ate change for them­selves and their oper­a­tions. Our team of tal­ent­ed solu­tions experts and design­ers col­lab­o­rate with our clients to cus­tomize pro­grams for all lev­els of man­age­ment for imme­di­ate rel­e­vance and impact in the workplace.

Our mis­sion of serv­ing our clients is root­ed in our belief that all voic­es bring strength and per­spec­tive to the con­ver­sa­tion. In all that we do, whether with­in our inter­nal team or with our client part­ners, build­ing a com­mu­ni­ty of trust is para­mount. We acknowl­edge that, since we are all dif­fer­ent, we all have unique per­spec­tives and abil­i­ties to share. We are com­mit­ted to con­tin­u­al open­ness and accep­tance to fos­ter inclu­sion and belong­ing in our inter­ac­tions and rela­tion­ships. With this in mind, we have adopt­ed the DEI state­ment offered by the Soci­ety of Human Resource Man­age­ment that aligns with our mis­sion. Day One Group Diver­si­ty Equi­ty and Inclu­sion Policy
