Our Belonging

We have a deep and longstanding commitment to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in business, in society, and within our firm.

At Mou-Tere, we believe that a world where health outcomes are equitable begins with a workplace that reflects the diverse communities we serve.

 

We are committed to fostering an environment where every individual—regardless of background, identity, or experience—feels a profound sense of belonging, empowered to contribute to solutions that advance public health globally.

 

As a consulting organization committed to improving health outcomes worldwide, we integrate DEI principles into our client engagements, research, and program implementation. This means:

  • Engaging diverse voices in health solutions—ensuring that the communities most impacted by public health challenges have a say in shaping policies and interventions.
  • Applying an equity lens to our consulting work—identifying disparities and advocating for inclusive policies that address systemic health inequities.
  • Partnering with local organizations—leveraging community expertise and ensuring culturally competent approaches in all initiatives.

We recognize that diverse perspectives drive innovation, equitable policies lead to stronger communities, and an inclusive culture strengthens our mission to improve global public health.

 

As a consulting organization, we embed DEI principles in both our internal operations and the work we deliver to partners, stakeholders, and communities worldwide. 

 

  • We embrace diversity in all its forms, by actively recruiting, retaining, and advancing diverse talent across our organization, ensuring that our teams reflect the global populations we serve.

 

  • Equity is at the core of our decision-making. as we strive to identify and remove barriers that hinder participation.

 

  • Inclusion is how we work—not just an initiative, but an everyday practice so that all team members feel safe, supported, and encouraged to contribute their unique perspectives.

 

Our belonging is the result of a truly inclusive and equitable culture. We:

  1. Foster psychological safety so employees feel comfortable expressing ideas, concerns, and challenges without fear of bias or exclusion.

  2. Support employee resource groups (ERGs) and mentorship programs that strengthen community and connection.

  3. Recognize and celebrate cultural awareness, heritage, and global public health achievements through inclusive events and initiatives.
