On Working at FSG
I am deeply privileged to work on equitable systems change at FSG. I work with an inspiring team of people who dive into social impact and employer transformation with equal parts head and heart. With so many individuals being either neglected and/or actively marginalized by the systems that surround us, I am grateful to hold those stories and interface with employers who have the opportunity to make meaningful and lasting change for frontline workers.
