"Being honored on the SIA’s 2024 DE&I Influencer List is a profound recognition that extends beyond personal achievement; it symbolizes the strides we, as a team at Cross Country, have made towards embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion into the very fabric of our organizational culture," expressed Colin McDonald, Chief Human Resource Officer.

McDonald's deep commitment to diversity and inclusion is evident in his comprehensive approach to fostering an inclusive workplace. His strategies not only focus on internal cultural enhancement but also extend to impactful initiatives such as establishing employee-led councils, conducting extensive diversity training, and refining recruitment and retention strategies that celebrate and harness diversity.

Beyond the confines of Cross Country, McDonald is a vocal advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion across the broader business landscape. He actively promotes the establishment of clear diversity goals, the adoption of advanced recruitment strategies, and the importance of maintaining open dialogues about DE&I policies.
