Diversity Equity & Inclusion corporate solutions
We collaborate with organizations to build and implement strategies that integrate equity and inclusion across systems, policy, and practice. In doing so, we equip employees, managers, and leaders with tools to foster belonging through our cultural competency workshops, virtual trainings, coaching services, and learning events. Our primary focus is to support organization’s in increasing their internal capacity to develop and implement long-term sustainable change.
Our Approach
We begin our client interactions with consultation meeting. This meeting establishes the foundation for our collaboration in exploring your organizational strengths, growth points, and desired outcomes.
Building high-performing cultures begins with establishing benchmark data through strengths-based organizational assessments. During our meeting you will be introduced to our array of organizational evaluation tools. Our organizational evaluation can include everything from surveys, focus groups, DEI assessment tools and conversations with senior leadership teams to deep dive surveys that measure engagement, inclusivity, and culture across your systems.
Following your evaluation, we will identify potential DEI benchmarks, and curate a strategy and time-table for training, development, communications, and programming to improve specific outcomes.
After the DEI solution is implemented, we work with your organization to maintain acquired skills through sustainability efforts such as survey assessments, refresher courses and coaching.
Training & Education
Our benchmark data informs the development of DEI solutions. We focus on motivating employees to create positive change in the workplace through interactive, experiential education that uses real-life scenarios to build empathy, neutralize bias, and harness the collective contributions of your workforce.
We seek to build cultures where everyone feels valued, has equal opportunities to grow and contribute, and can bring their whole self to work daily. When employees feel appreciated, trusted and recognized for their unique contributions, that’s when innovation and productivity thrive and profits increase along with the energy of the office.
The DEI Institute trains across all levels of an organization to understand and operationalize core Diversity, Equity and Inclusion principles, create a race-equity environment, and ignite a high-performance culture.
