Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Consulting

We are thought leaders—writing, speaking, and advising nationally on improving workplace diversity and creating inclusive cultures. Our programs are grounded in extensive research comparing effective programs to ineffective ones so that we can deliver sustainable and measurable results for your workforce or workplace.

Through our DEI work, we (1) offer assessments; (2) help clients design and implement strategic plans; (3) provide customized trainings; (4) audit and assess DEI goals and strategies; and (5) offer on-going consulting services. Where applicable, we partner with members of Greene Espel’s Employment practice group for targeted investigations and litigation prevention work.

ASSESSMENT

It is hard to assess what improvement looks like without first understanding where you are. At the beginning of our engagements, we work with clients to assess where they are and articulate where they want to be. This assessment can include facilitated discussions with key stakeholders, employee interviews, surveys, and diversity assessment tools.

Once we understand your organization, we can better craft a meaningful program to drive change.

STRATEGIC PLANNING

We help clients identify their diversity, equity, and inclusion goals (both qualitative and quantitative), use our assessment to draft a report detailing where you may be falling short of those goals, and identify a clear path forward to meet your goals.

But success isn’t just about having a plan, it is also about ensuring that we achieve organizational buy-in, including the executive leadership and employees. Our aim is to leave your leadership and employees feeling energized by the plan that we create together.

 Our strategic plans can address:

• Institutional changes to reduce bias
• Individual actions to reduce bias
• Strategies to improve recruitment, hiring, promotion and retention of diverse talent
• Improving workplace policies and procedures
• Litigation prevention

ON-GOING CONSULTING SERVICES

Creating a diverse and inclusive organization requires more than a one-time training. We will work with you to create a long-term plan and check in on your progress as we go.  Your long-term success matters to us.
