Businesses, organizations and consultants have long known that a "merit-based" workforce is optimal. Stephen B. Starr Design, Inc. recognizes that meritorious workers include the full diversity of the human race regardless of skin color, sexual orientation, gender expression, religion (or no particular religious belief), and includes transgendered individuals. None of these characteristics disqualify anyone from working nor conversely, specifically qualifies someone for a particular work.

Now more than ever it is important to increase confidence in human capacity and reward important work to people who make thoughtful decisions and bring a work ethic informed by self-discipline, current science, and wise action.
