Racial equity Strategy & Audits

We understand both sides of this delicate inclusionconversation, the lived experience of underrepresented groups and the conflicting priorities that leadership and HR teams often face when it comes to developing racial equity in their organisations.

We support organisations to develop racial equity strategies, increase competence in race fluency, allyship and brave conversations

WHY IT MATTERS

In survey after survey, organisations say that the race area of the inclusion journey is the most difficult for them.

Data from the ONS tells us that by 2051, 1 in 5 of the UK population will be from underrepresented ethnic groups.

Recent ethnicity pay gaps and reviews of UK boards show that progress in ethnic diversity in organisations is slow.

Credible reports tell us that ethnically diverse boards outperform those without ethnic diversity by 35%.

“The best D&I course that I have experienced in 25yrs of working. It was carefully designed, and addressed current issues, whilst creating an environment for open and honest discussion. People opened up in a way that I have rarely seen in a work context, which led to greater understanding. Highly recommended."
