Our Mission

DEIAB
DEIAB is an acronym that guides the work we do at Circle Strategies.

These five principles help us visualize a world in which we all feel respect, welcome, and appreciation. As we strive to set the standard of Human Resource services, we must work to acknowledge and respect the differences we recognize in one another. Circle Strategies aims to be a model for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility, and Belonging, where all our team, clients, vendors, and volunteers are viewed equally.
Our goal of achieving exceptional service centers around transparency and comprehensive communication. We accomplish this with these invaluable tools:
