Intentionally Pursuing Diversity and Inclusion

Organizations are attempting to pursue diversity and inclusion in the workplace – many desire a more enriched company culture and see the inherent value of hiring individuals from diverse backgrounds. In fact, it would be challenging to find a company that doesn’t claim D&I as a primary objective, but how many are truly confronting this deeply-rooted societal issue? How many have found meaningful and sustainable ways to challenge social structures and enact inclusion?

The Need for Authentic Change

A recent article from the Harvard Business Review notes, “For too many organizations, (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) ends up a mere scaffold that does little to bring about actual, substantive change. And scaffolds are additive, instead of becoming integral parts of the existing organizational structure.” The truth is, many companies simply don’t know how to pursue diversity and inclusion in an intentional, sustainable, and productive way. At Knight Moves, we understand that identifying an issue and knowing how to best address it are two very different things. We offer companies the opportunity to confront social inequity and pursue inclusion, not through superficial resources, the promise of an easy fix, or the courtesy of donations, but by investing in individuals and making a deep-rooted, positive impact in their lives and communities without adding additional funds to your budget.

Movement with a Mission

Our social mission at Knight Moves involves bringing advanced education and training to urban underserved, Native American, and rural communities and connecting them with employers who support inclusion. We make this option available without sacrifice to them because we believe no one should have to abandon any aspect of their community or culture in order to pursue career opportunities and prospects for a better life. By investing in these individuals, we invest in their communities, and in doing so, we invest in society, our economy, our nation, and the future of social equity.

Advanced Training for Underserved Communities

Taking advanced education and training to urban underserved, Native American, and rural communities allows the individuals within them to maintain their culture in order to keep their youth local and give the opportunities they seek without forcing them to leave their families, communities, and heritage behind. By receiving this advanced education and connections to jobs, they’re able to stay in their community, have a rewarding career, and contribute toward their community’s economic prosperity.

“Knight Moves is the most comprehensive solution I’ve seen in my 40+ year career dedicated to creating prosperity for Native American communities. Providing the opportunity to have the careers we want while preserving our Tribal identity, culture, language, and heritage.”
- Lawrence Spottedbird, Chairman of the Kiowa Tribe

Native American youth desire to be included in our opportunity - offering them a career with a future that appeals to them and preserves their family, community, and Indigenous heritage. When the 8th -11th graders of the Sac and Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa were presented the opportunity, 58% committed to participating if it was available to them, with 48% of those being female.
