Our Culture
Stronger together - encouraging collaboration and allyship
As a minority-owned business with a growing team of nearly 200 people, 30+ nationalities across North America, Europe and the South Pacific, speaking 21 languages, diversity is in our DNA. We celebrate and thrive on our differences to help realize the full potential of our teams and deliver exceptional service to our clients.
ArganoArbela is committed to a culture that values openness and respect in recognizing and honoring our differences while focusing on what brings us together. We value what each individual brings to the table regardless of cultural background or national origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, physical ability, or any other non-merit factor. We understand that diversity and inclusion require continuous engagement and evolution. Our holistic approach in building an inclusive environment involves all of our people, encouraging collaboration, continuous feedback, and allyship to build stronger teams.
Going beyond
Diversity starts with us, but it doesn’t stop here. Our inclusive culture extends from our people to our clients. We focus on cultivating meaningful partnerships and we believe the best way to do this is through trust, knowledge development and sharing, and integrity in delivering outstanding client experiences. We provide each of our clients with the same level of integrity and we are on the cutting edge of discovering and implementing efficient processes.
