We value and embed action-oriented thinking, individualized learning and intersectional frameworks in all areas of our work.

Personal learning is a critical first step to creating more inclusive environments. This is why our workshops & webinars take both standardized and tailored approaches to empowering you and your team with the knowledge needed to identify and change the systemic barriers and behaviours that prevent all employees from thriving at work.

While our sessions are open to everyone, we place a high focus on developing the competencies of middle managers, team leads and individual teams. An employee’s first impression of workplace culture comes from their manager and HR exit interviews have shown that oftentimes these individuals are also the primary reason why employees stay with or leave an organization. We specialize in working with the middle and below to empower the groups that are often overlooked.

We focus on a variety of topics including but not limited to:

• Unpacking the role intersectionality plays in the employee lifecycle

• Creating inclusive environments for marginalized communities (ie. 2SLGBTQAI+, BIPOC)

• Developing inclusive teams and communication practices

• Addressing forms of microaggressions

• Understanding privilege and workplace power dynamics

• Engaging in intentional allyship & anti-racism actions

If personal learning is the first step, systemic change is the crucial second. There is no real long-lasting impact to equity, diversity and inclusion efforts without dismantling, rebuilding and restructuring biased organizational systems and HR processes. Our consulting & coaching services dive deep into the internal structures of organizations to identify, recommend and implement strategies that create more equitable workplace.

We work with the people accountable and responsible for organizational change. This often looks like enabling HR teams, leadership, culture champions and equity focused change agents to infuse inclusive practices into all aspects of the employee lifecycle.

We offer a range of support including but not limited to:

• Gaps assessments, providing recommendations and strategies based off of your own internal equity assessments and audits

• Change management and implementation plans to address organizational readiness and accountability

• One on one coaching and advisory services to help support you with your internal inclusion initiatives

• Ad-hoc additional equity focused consulting or coaching by request

A one time workshop is not enough time to fully develop and instill behavioural and systemic change. Our programs & initiatives create long-term, custom curriculum to fit an organization’s unique needs around inclusion. These services enable organizations to create long lasting solutions and ongoing learning opportunities for their employees.

These programs are highly customized and involve a variety of people across various functions and levels of the organization depending on what the specific initiative entails. Typically, program ownership once handed over lives with HR and leadership teams.

As these programs are custom made they could look appear in a variety of different ways including but not limited to:

• Long term equity focused competency development programs for managers

• Employee Resource Group (ERG) & DEI Council Enablement

• Mentorship and sponsorship programming for marginalized employee groups

• Fundamental equity focused onboarding training programs
