What We Do

Our team of 22 consultants bring a broad and practical array of strategic advisory expertise, lived experiences, and passion to your solutions. Each organization has unique DEI challenges, vision, and long-term objectives. We tailor our approach and deliverables for each client.

We help our clients recognize, custom-tailor, and execute sustainable talent and organizational strategies that quantifiably improve the employee experience. Simply put, an employer of choice is a company that candidates, by and large, want to work for. Some of the defining characteristics of employers of choice are inclusive leadership, equitable & competitive pay, and an attractive company culture that is inclusive of team members from different backgrounds.

Assessment

DEI assessment is a critical step to long-term success, as it provides a data-driven understanding of your current state around diversity, equity, and inclusion to guide decision-making and action planning.

Asking better questions, utilizing appropriate methodologies, and implementing efficient techniques for your desired outcome are among the several factors that distinguish successful DEI assessment.

Our mixed-methodology approach to the assessment process provides for the efficient integration of quantitative and qualitative data within a single evaluation. This may involve focus groups or listening sessions (LS) prior to a quantitative online survey. Or in-depth interviews (IDIs) to gather more feedback following the online survey.

  • Measure, track, & improve diversity, equity, & inclusion metrics within a user-friendly Diversio platform.
  • Companies like Unilever, Guusto, Deloitte, Hudson’s Bay & Danone trust Diversio to power their company culture.
  • Advanced features including DEI reporting, industry benchmarking, data visualization with heatmaps, and KPI tracking.
  • Integrate directly with your HRIS systems, or execute with our pulse survey (80% Employee participation rate).

“The Diversio platform is very data-driven, and I love the dashboard. Its so engaging and easy to maneuver, and you can filter out the data you want. In my years of being in the DEI space, it kind of sets the Diversio platform apart from the competition.”

– Reshad Ali, Senior Manager, DEI Strategic Advisor | Hudson Bay Company (30,000+ Employees)

By using the above mixed-mode approach Inclusive Leaders Group clients receive a comprehensive understanding of the current state as a baseline within your DEI journey.
