Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

We support you to transform your culture and business performance

To remain viable and thrive as a business, your workforce needs to adapt continuously, and therefore so does your approach to talent management. Many of today’s business challenges are, in reality, people challenges. We support you to transform your approach to DEI, focusing in on what will make the biggest impact on the attraction, retention and engagement of a high performing workforce, allowing your organisation to achieve outcomes such as increased innovation and a compelling employee value proposition (EVP).

Common challenges and how we can help:

• Do you have a compelling DEI strategy that is aligned to your business strategy?
  We work with senior leaders to articulate a DE&I vision and strategy that is aligned to your business and purpose. This involves aligning around the current state, agreeing on focus areas and priorities for the future, and defining measurable goals. We then work with your HR leaders to outline key DE&I activities and develop a prioritised roadmap to operationalise and embed the strategy.
• Are your DEI ambitions evidence-based?
  Our DEI data practice uses advanced data techniques to model your future workforce as well as the impact of any changes or interventions, establishing projections for future workforce diversity. Leveraging internal and external data insights, we support organisations to develop evidence-based, ambitious and achievable diversity targets.
• Are your governance and accountability processes fit for purpose?
  We support you to embed an effective operating model to execute your DEI strategy, designing systems and structures which will enable sustainable and impactful progress, including governance, accountability and programme management.
• Do your leaders have the competency to drive DEI in your organisation?
  True transformation starts at the top. We work with leaders, providing inclusive leadership training and coaching, using our own Inclusive Leadership Framework, to help them develop the confidence and behavioural competence to lead inclusively, create psychological safety and build high performing teams.

We can independently run elements of your DEI programming

We offer both ongoing and one off support, augmenting your team with the capability and capacity to manage and deliver specific DEI activities. Whatever your technical DEI challenge, we can take it off your plate, giving you peace of mind that it will be done well, at pace.

Common challenges and how we can help:

• How well do you understand your workforce?
  Our DEI data practice helps you to collect and analyse workforce data, conducting advanced analytics to understand how employees join, progress and exit - uncovering any disproportionate impacts and inequities in talent management, and presenting data in easily digestible and interactive dashboards.

• Do you have insight into the differing employee experiences within your organisation?
  Our Inclusion Insights tool uses a structured measurement methodology and powerful analytics to explore your workforce sentiment, providing targeted insights to help you improve inclusion where it matters most. By assessing the different inclusion ‘drivers’ and disaggregating employee demographics, we develop an inclusion thumbprint unique to your organisation, allowing you to develop efficient and focused interventions to improve inclusion.
• Are you struggling to resolve employee grievances and misconduct?
  Our employment law practice assesses, re-designs and manages processes to resolve workplace conflicts (e.g. speak up, grievances, etc.), and conducts investigations into widespread and/or systemic culture issues, identifying remedial action under legal privilege, if desired.
• Are you confident you’re prepared for incoming reporting requirements?
  New and anticipated reporting requirements are increasing demands for transparency on workforce diversity and pay equity, with global organisations facing an increasingly complex regulatory landscape. We help you to understand and comply with evolving regulatory requirements, ensuring you are equipped to meet your legal reporting requirements and transparency ambitions.
  
• Is your DEI narrative compelling and effective?
  We support you to craft a unique and compelling DEI narrative, delivering communications that will amplify your impact and resonate with audiences from applicants to regulators. Whether your goal is to broadcast your commitments, explain your gender pay gap, or increase employee diversity data disclosure, an effective DEI narrative will ensure you get maximum value from your other DEI investments.
