Inclusive cultures
We know unpacking culture can be daunting. Culture is deeply embedded in values, assumptions, behaviours, and attitudes. It is, in essence, the human glue that makes any company unique. Our programmes are designed to work with what you have and the systems you have in place, then work out how to move what needs to change forwards.
‘You measure what you treasure’
Start with our Equality Standard, a review, rating and roadmap to an inclusive culture
Start with hard insight with our Equality Standard review, rating and roadmap system. We’ll review your policies and people across 15 pillars. You’ll gain a six-in-one mental health audit: L&D audit, demographic audit, recruitment audit, and an employer brand review as well as gain 10-12 actions compiled by our EDI consultants.
We tailor our approach to you
We build bespoke programmes around your unique challenges and needs and meet you where you are in your EDI process. Whether you’re building your first EDI strategy, or whether you’re looking for a different perspective to help reveal inclusive opportunities within your business.
EDI strategy and governance framework
With data insight, build out your strategy with a clear baseline and KPIs. Once this is set, consider how you’ll set up your governance framework. This might include building an inclusion council, Employer Resource Groups or an inclusion ambassador programme across all your functions.
Inclusive leaders and managers
Leaders, it starts with you. Leaders drive culture, while mid-managers are instrumental in managing the teams around them. We train your managers on how to lead around the ‘eight Cs: cultural intelligence, curiosity, cognisance of bias, commitment, communication, creativity, courage, connection and one ‘e’: empathy. We cover behaviours, language (feedback) and active listening.
Inclusive recruitment audit
Is your recruitment process biased? Would you know if it was? Our Inclusive Recruitment Audit takes a look at your process and reveals gaps and opportunities for inclusive hiring. Followed by our groundbreaking Inclusive Recruitment Workshop - with an average rating of 10/10 by our participants - with your in-house teams or PSL leads, we shape a more inclusive recruitment system for your business.
Culture change
We believe bias/privilege training doesn’t work. Instead, you have to understand how it maps to system thinking. Identify the core areas of the business you want to work on, then we’ll unpack bias with individuals and teams, then rewire the system for change, writing guidelines or addressing policies and practices as we go.
Addressing inequality
Many people face day-to-day microaggressions in the workplace, which means they’ll code-switch, having to put on their ‘armor’ to come to work. Take your company through allyship and anti-racism training, learning what this truly means for your leaders and teams.
Courageous conversations
Empower leaders to proactively engage in important and challenging conversations in relation to diversity, equity and inclusion and to be proactive in giving and receiving feedback from peers. Feel more comfortable managing conflict and talking openly about identity, and discrimination and inclusion
Need bespoke training?
We can tailor workshops or programme modules to your unique needs. For example, we ran a Islamophobia in Fashion workshop for a luxury fashion brand. We can work to your challenges and design a programme that suits your challenges.
In-house training programmes
We can adapt any of our training programmes to meet your organisational needs. Do you have a group of people ready to step into leadership roles? Would you like to diversify your talent pool with a returnship programme? Get in touch to find out more.
Diversify your talent
Every year, we run a #CreativeComeback programme for creative women returning to work after an extended career break. We upskill them, ready for you to harness their talents. Expect carers, mothers, cancer survivors and those who have had a break and now need to break back in.
Accelerate PMG talent
Intersectional data always tell us those from Black, Asian, Multi-Ethnic backgrounds or ‘People of the Global Majority’ find it harder to make their way to leadership positions. This cyclical learning programme addresses barriers, trains in leadership skills and gives them the tools and skills to become CEOs.
Future Leaders programme
Many women face bias on their way to the top. This six-month in-house programme creates a sponsor and mentor programme around a cohort of leaders on their way to the top. They’ll learn everything from financial acumen to how to negotiate, present and manage a team effectively.
