Our process

We will walk you through each step of creating your DEI strategy, from scoping, design, and development to delivery and implementation. With a clear DEI Strategy, your organisation will have a focused action plan to achieve your diversity and inclusion goals.

01. Scope

We start by building an accurate picture of where you are currently by analyzing your workforce data and engagement survey results, reviewing key policies and practices, conducting benchmark studies, interviewing stakeholders, and running employee focus groups. Once we have gained an accurate picture of your workplace we identify the root causes of your DEI challenges. This enables us to set sensible targets and recommend focused DEI initiatives that will drive sustainable change.

02. Design

Using key insights from the scoping phase, we use our unique impact-driven strategy framework to design your customised DEI strategy. Our framework defines the impact you want to have, the key outcomes you hope to achieve, and the outputs required to achieve these outcomes. We work in collaboration with you and your team to co-develop a strategy that is fit for the purpose.

03. Develop

Once the strategy is approved we move into the details, identifying evidence-based activities that have been shown to reliably drive the outputs you hope to achieve. We seek input from employees and leaders to strengthen our recommendation and ensure we fully meet the needs of your organisation. In this stage we will also make revisions to existing policies and practices to ensure they have been de-biased.

04. Deliver

In the final stage, we work with you to secure leadership approval for the final strategy and targets. We define what resources you will need to deliver the strategy, identify key roles and responsibilities, and set key performance indicators to track implementation. We also develop a compelling communication plan to launch your strategy to the full organisation.

I worked with Helen to develop a comprehensive Gender, Diversity and Inclusion (GDI) Strategy for the World Food Program. She developed a new global GDI strategy, translated this into an action plan with targets to measure progress, and advised on integrating the strategy into the overall new global People Policy. She is an international subject matter expert on Diversity and Inclusion who brings great knowledge and experience.
