Our Diversity & Inclusion Workshops develop executive, people leader and workforce capabilities for fostering diverse, equitable and inclusive work settings. # Inclusive leadership: Assists leaders in understanding their implicit assumptions and preferences. It also seeks to improve their motivation and ability to empower diverse talent and integrate differences into work practices and decision-making. # Unconscious bias and mindful inclusion: Using experiential ‘a-ha’ activities that ‘show’ rather than ‘tell’ participants their biases, workshop participants develop an awareness of their own and others’ biases. They also learn when they are most susceptible to bias and proven techniques for overriding ingrained bias and monitoring and adjusting their automatic responses in the workplace. In addition, participants learn evidence-based techniques for responding to bias in others without triggering backlash or defensiveness. # Inclusive hiring: Seeks to reduce bias in hiring by transferring skills for inclusive recruitment and objective selection. # DEI for Executives: A facilitated leadership discussion that develops executive knowledge of entity-specific business drivers and industry best practices for building diverse, equitable and inclusive workplaces including effective governance, equitable talent management, inclusive leadership and culture, inclusive policies and premises, regular measurement and reporting, and proven strategies for addressing gender pay gaps including intersectional risks and opportunities. # DEI for HR Business Partners: Develops HRBP capability for supporting an employer’s diversity and inclusion efforts through leadership coaching and advice, best-practice implementation, and championing equity, diversity and inclusion. # Effective ERGs: Develops stakeholder awareness of the purpose and structure of effective employee resource groups including leadership and governance, action planning and reporting, membership and promotion, and employer and executive support.   Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gYcVXvi3

As we celebrate National Inclusion Week this week, it’s important to reflect on what it truly takes to build an inclusive workplace. Inclusion is more than just a buzzword or a policy; it requires tangible actions, consistency, and a long-term commitment from leadership. For organisations who understand that #ImpactMatters and are genuinely committed to inclusion, the first step is assessing the current climate—what’s working, what needs improvement, and how those strengths can be preserved as part of the new cultural vision.   Leaders play a crucial role in driving change. Culture shifts don’t happen in a vacuum. Leaders must not only champion the change but actively model the behaviours they want to see across the organisation. Regular communication, clear expectations, and embedding inclusivity into everyday actions is essential. A strong focus should also be placed on creating systems that promote inclusivity, especially in recruitment. Are there barriers in your hiring process? If so, now is the time to address them. An inclusive recruitment process ensures that new hires come from diverse backgrounds, bringing fresh perspectives and innovative ideas.   But it’s not just about bringing talent in—it’s about creating an environment where people thrive. Organisations must invest in creating inclusive onboarding, coaching and mentoring plans, providing opportunities for continuous professional development, while also supporting managers in adapting to new ways of working. As Dominie Moss, CEO of The Return Hub, aptly puts it: “Real change happens when leaders are brave enough to challenge the status quo and make meaningful, inclusive hires.”   Head here to learn more about how you can change culture to improve inclusion at your organisation - https://lnkd.in/eY-X2w3u   What do you think organisations can do to improve inclusion?
