Strategy & Reputation - Do you have a published Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Strategy, that identifies your business case, the key issues in your organisation and an action plan to show how you are addressing them? Is it up to date and relevant to the current issues in your region or country? Is it good enough to help you win contracts and improve your reputation among all your key stakeholders?
No leading organisation can afford not to raise their game when it comes to equality, diversity and inclusion. With the current pressure on the public purse and on consumer finances, who they choose to use and give contracts to is increasingly linked to how they see the ethics of the organisation. The worldwide Black Lives Matter campaign; gender; and LGBT demands for Equality Audits and the UK Government Review is only raising the profile of organisation's in this area.
Strategic Engagement & Support - However, you may not have the resources or do not need to have a full-time Diversity Director. This is why engaging me for your senior management team meetings, Board meetings or other key strategic discussions will add great value to your organisation without having the long term cost of a full-time senior manager.
Access to Strategic Advice - You will also have access to me and my resources off-site. this means you can call me anytime, share a key policy document or issues to get a high level response quickly. My team can also sign post you to key documents, articles and videos.
World-Class Training - In addition to the strategic support, I can also run high level training with your Board, other senior leaders, junior managers and staff as necessary. this can be done formally, informally (e.g. briefings, focus groups etc) or a hybrid online, particularly when you have staff based across the country or internationally.
