Diversity and Inclusion: how to promote it in the workplace
The Roadmap to Diversity & Inclusion
Have you already made progress, but feel your organization still hasn't fully embraced inclusive culture and gender diversity? Are you looking to align your people with your values and move from intention to impact?
We support companies in designing and managing dedicated strategies that accelerate gender diversity across all levels of the organization by helping you:
- Improve performance, by enhancing your service offering, investor relations, and shareholder engagement;
- Stay in tune with your market, so that both B2B and B2C clients see themselves reflected in your teams;
- Ensure regulatory compliance, by meeting CSR requirements and ESG criteria;
- Attract top talent, by demonstrating a true commitment to work-life balance and inclusion;
- Strengthen leadership, by assessing your brand image, potential reputational risks, and executive team engagement.
From commitment to action: setting the right D&I objectives
Once D&I becomes a topic at the Executive Committee level, it can be challenging to define clear goals and select the most impactful actions among the many options available:
Setting gender diversity targets across the organization, including for the Executive Committee, management teams, promotions, and compensation;
Prioritizing efforts—from leadership communication and large-scale training programs to the development of detailed dashboards and the evolution of HR processes.
