With expertise in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). We help to empower your people with the knowledge and skills to work effectively across differences and cultivate inclusive behaviour.

Get Started

Assessments

We offer organizational culture assessments at regular intervals to help you understand the patterns and behaviours that are impacting your work environment. Assessments can range from a full culture or DEI assessment, guided by our proprietary maturity model, to a more targeted micro assessment that is looking at a specific area or need within your organization. In our approach, we utilize surveys, interviews, focus groups, and policy and process reviews, and we will always tailor each of the methods to the unique needs of your organization. We use a highly customized research and data management approach to ensure we accurately diagnose the challenges and identify critical new opportunities over time to foster equity and inclusion.

Strategic Design

We can help you craft a tailored and actionable strategic plan or integrate new high-impact interventions and initiatives into your existing people and culture strategies. We can also support in the development of unique culture building programs, including Employee Resource Groups or Wellness and Mental Health Programs, as examples, and the identification of the right indicators and metrics to measure and track success. We utilize a design thinking methodology to develop strategy with the users/key stakeholders always at the centre. Our strategic design process is grounded in ensuring there is broad and diverse perspectives at the table and leveraging data-driven insights to create an inclusive workplace.

Implementation

To help you ensure the culture change is sustainable and yields positive outcomes, we offer communications planning and messaging support for any or all of your strategic culture initiatives; coaching and facilitation for leaders and teams to sustain momentum; process integration advisory to embed new behaviours and practices into operations; and continuous feedback and progress tracking support. Based on your needs, we will customize a unique implementation program that will allow for a seamless execution of your culture strategies and initiatives. Our customized implementation programs emphasize belonging in the workplace.
