EMBEDDING
The only way to achieve the culture you want is through sustaining the changes you make. As an organization striving to create an open, team-oriented, positive environment that enables everyone to grow and learn from each other both professionally and personally, it's essential to embed and align your organization around practices that support inclusion and strengthen culture.
​
Our approach doesn't put different types of organizational culture into a box or category. Instead, we study the positive aspects of your current culture and what outcomes you want in order to discover opportunity areas and develop your ideal future state.
Two times the likelihood to meet or exceed financial targets, in companies that foster an inclusive culture. (Deloitte)
Expanding diversity in leadership requires planning, dedication, and a commitment to ongoing staff development. Building an inclusive workplace culture takes more than hiring diverse talent for entry and mid-level positions.
​
According to a study by Deloitte, companies that focus on fostering an inclusive culture are twice as likely to meet or exceed financial targets, three times as likely to be high-performing, six times more likely to be innovative and agile, and eight times more likely to achieve better business outcomes. The study also found that organizations that embed diversity and inclusion into their overall business strategy outperform their peers by up to 30%.
​
For your business to benefit fully from workplace inclusivity – which may include improved revenues and increased innovation – it’s vital to prepare, develop, promote, and advance all of your leaders for key posts. Infuse your company's leadership with diverse voices.
Make it your priority to institutionalize inclusivity.
Embedding personal branding and inclusion in leadership practices is essential because it helps leaders effectively communicate their brand and value proposition to others, while also creating a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion within the organization. Help your leaders develop valuable skills that will help them excel in the workplace, with clients, and in the industry with leadership programs for business professionals who need to redefine their leadership brand and take their reputation to the next level.

LinkedIn reports that, on average, employees have ten times more followers than their company's social media accounts. Post Beyond also notes that employees receive eight times more engagement than content shared by brand channels. The bottom line is that we trust people more than we trust brands and engage with people more than brands. If you don't get your employees involved on social, you're absolutely losing out to companies that do.

RoundtablesTo lead with an inclusion lens, it's important to be willing to adapt your communication, behavior, and thought processes when interacting with people from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and experiences. In today's increasingly multicultural and multifaceted organizations and teams, it's common for people to lack the necessary training to lead and communicate across dimensions of diversity effectively. One way to address this gap is by hosting a round table or forum to discuss inclusive leadership and brand development with your leadership team.

WorkshopsIf you're looking to involve your leaders in setting the strategic roadmap and vision for your corporation, consider hosting an interactive workshop. This is a more interactive and engaging way to gather input and ideas from your leaders, rather than simply sending them a questionnaire.

If you need help with delivery, let us know! We’re here for it, and here to lead it.

Advisory CouncilsBoards of directors typically strive to create well-rounded boards with the necessary skills and capabilities to govern their organizations effectively. However, there may be times when the board lacks expertise in a particular area and could benefit from the guidance of an outside professional. In these cases, it can be helpful to have an advisory council member with specialized knowledge to fill that gap and provide valuable insights. This is just one example of how an advisory council member can support and enhance the work of the board.
