Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion impacts the business.
What’s your Strategy?

 

Audit the Bias

Bias can creep into a company through its hiring practices, onboarding, compensation structures, and many other entry points. We work with leaders on analyzing current policies and practices to provide recommendations for fast and measurable improvement.

DEI Strategic Advisement

In order to create a meaningful and authentic diversity strategy for your organization, it’s important to benchmark where the company currently stands in the eyes of leadership as well as the employees. Through qualitative and quantitative measures, we’ll compile a synthesized report complete with recommendations on how to build Diversity, Equity & Inclusion into the culture of your organization.

ERG Support

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) provide a space and opportunity for people of similar backgrounds to come together. The presence of ERGs not only enhance a company’s culture but also have the ability to identify business driving opportunities. Our experts partner with organizations on creating, guiding, and supporting best-in-class employee resource groups that create connections and enhance inclusion within a company.


Live Facilitated Learning Experiences & Programs

Confronting & Understanding Unconscious Bias

We all have biases. It’s how our brains are hardwired. But what’s important is how we manage through our bias once we know it exists. In this interactive program, we’ll explore the definition of unconscious bias, microaggressions, the science behind it all, and how truly understanding can help us be conquer our biases. We will approach the hard conversations and put actions behind how to become aware, challenge our assumptions, identify risks to our teams and business and ensure that we are in control of our biases. Graduates of this program often leave our class startled at how much they’ve learned about themselves, how many biases we harbor, and how we can consciously make choices to be inclusive to create a more diverse workplace.

Learning to Speak Up

Our world has been forever changed by racial injustice, a global pandemic, and a state of constant change. We’re expected to navigate through it all while leading and/or working alongside our teams while finding ourselves in environments of division, challenge, and fear. Teams need to have comfort and competence in approaching discussions. How can leaders build space for discussion that is not debated? How can leaders offer space for respect and listening when there is disagreement? In this program, we will look at the types of issues that can arise in the workplace, uncover what makes them challenging, and then discuss ways for leaders to help facilitate dialogue that will cultivate inclusive environments.

Let’s Talk - Live, Virtual Roundtables

One of the most important aspects of learning is listening. In our intimate (virtual) roundtables, our expert talent strategists create a thoughtfully facilitated opportunity for group conversations about employees’ individual perceptions and experiences within the organization as they relate to these crucial and sensitive topics. Colleagues are given the chance to learn about one another and to share how they feel as it relates to the current environment with the support and guidance of a seasoned group o facilitators. Most importantly, the roundtables are a safe space that inspires engaging dialogue while strengthening teams and building inclusion. Most often, this is the best place to start.

Power of Allyship

In light of recent events and tragedies, many of us want to be allies but not everyone understands exactly how to be one. Being an ally is an action, not an identity; and everyone has the potential to get involved. During our interactive conversation, participants will uncover strengths, fears, and stories that will help to build a path toward stronger allyship in the future. We’ll define the roles, the risks, the rewards, as well as scenarios, scripts, and expectations. Participants will walk away knowing how and when to intervene and will feel empowered to speak up and respond when inequality occurs.
