DEI Organizational Audit

The purpose is to assess the current state through a DEI lens. We assess what is working, what are the disconnects, and potential levers for change to inform the next steps towards achieving the organization’s ideal culture and outcomes. 

As part of each audit, you receive a report that can be used to inform the creation of a strategic and/or action plan. Additionally, the report could serve as a baseline to measure progress.

Strategic & Action Planning

Strategic Plan — Developing a sound strategic plan is a powerful tool that carefully considers the components needed to achieve the organizations’ “ideal”. Ensuring alignment of vision, mission, areas of work, values, and key structures and priorities.

Action Planning — Articulating the specific steps, resources, timeline, metrics, and tasks needed to achieve specific goals.

DEI Committees

We help DEI committees in a variety of ways based on their needs. We can help form the group, facilitate the creation of norms and decision-making processes, set priorities, and clarify roles and responsibilities. We also provide workshops and training to resource committees with the knowledge and skills needed to carry out their remit.

Board Development

The most effective Boards are ones where members are engaged and resourced with what they need in order to provide support, oversight, and accountability.

We help ensure board members are resourced with what they need. This could include help with bylaws, practices, structure, communications, training, facilitated discussions, decision making, and any other specific needs.

Coaching

We provide one-on-one coaching on issues and/or situations that arise through the DEI process. Individuals, often due to their identities and/or positions in the organization, can feel isolated and could benefit from connecting with an outside expert.

Coaching sessions are confidential. Clients can speak openly and receive the non-judgemental support they need based on the outcomes they seek.  

Workshops

We create space for everyone to learn and share knowledge with each other. Workshops also provide strategies and tools along with time to practice.

Examples of topics: 

• Foundations of DEI in the workplace

Intercultural Competency

The ability to bridge across differences is a core skill needed for cultivating and sustaining diversity, equity, and inclusion, especially for people managers.

Assessment — We use the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) to assess and provide tailored coaching for individuals and teams to work more effectively across differences.

One-on-One & Team Coaching — We provide strategies and action steps that inform individual and organizational action plans to increase the intercultural skills needed to close the gap of intent and impact.
