Strategic Planning and Goal Setting
Many organizations are seeking help to develop comprehensive DEI strategies, including crafting actionable goals, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and setting up processes for ongoing evaluation. They want guidance on creating sustainable initiatives that align with their company’s culture and values, ensuring long-term impact rather than short-term fixes.
Training and Education
There is a high demand for workshops and training sessions, particularly on topics like unconscious bias, inclusive hiring practices, and cultural competence. Companies are looking for customized educational programs to educate employees at all levels on the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace, focusing on awareness, communication, and actionable change.
Consultation and Continuous Support
Many businesses are looking for ongoing consulting relationships to provide expertise as they implement DEI initiatives. This could include quarterly meetings, self-assessments, and progress evaluations to adjust strategies as needed. They value collaborative partnerships where consultants help guide them through specific challenges, such as recruitment, retention, or improving internal policies for inclusivity.
