Catalyst for Change – Diversity, Inclusivity & Equity

---

• When an organization is comprised of people with diverse backgrounds, cultures and experiences, new, creative, and innovative ideas are created, as it is natural for people with varying experiences and perspectives in life to generate unique ideas and solutions to problems.
• Individuals from diverse backgrounds offer a variety of skills and life experiences that can benefit an entire organization and can help create an environment in which employees learn from each other. 
• By working alongside people of different backgrounds and experiences, employees can brainstorm and offer feedback and suggestions, which is essential to building and strengthening a collaborative team.
• Organizations with employees from diverse cultures, backgrounds, and life experiences demonstrate that they recognize, celebrate, and commemorate people’s differences, which makes the employees feel valued. 
• Cultural diversity also brings tangible benefits to the organization as it directly impacts productivity and profitability. Employees are more likely to feel comfortable and happy in an environment where inclusivity and equality are priorities, in a workplace which encourages workers to feel confident in their ability and achieve their best. The higher the team morale, the more productive employees are.
• Many studies conclude that promoting cultural diversity also helps with employee retention, as people want to work in an environment accepting of all backgrounds, which promotes equality and a sense of belonging.

We help organizations:

1. Create a selection process which draws from an all-inclusive candidate pool.
2. Employ data driven, evidence based, hiring protocols that can be standardized and are grounded in objective criteria.
3. Create a work culture and environment in which all employees feel valued and have a sense of belonging.
