USE CASES
Build an Inclusive Culture
An inclusive culture is a requirement, not a avoidable luxury. Create an environment where all employees feels included ensures they are able to express their full creativity and potential within the company.
Companies with an Inclusive culture build competitive advantages:
3X
less likely to have disengaged employees ready to leave the company
$500M
of annual savings from increased efficiency and productivity
2.6X
less likely to have employees say that they withheld ideas and market solutions
Continuous Cultural Transformation
Key Challenges
Statistics show that when employees do not feel they have an environment of inclusion, they are more likely to leave within two years. Additionally, non-inclusive environments result in disengaged and actively disengaged workforce which cannot operate at its full innovative capacity.
A lack of inclusivity and equity can also result in a serious market disconnect.
Do you remember H&M’s 2018 “Coolest Monkey in the Jungle” coupled with a black boy model? Or what about the controversy and negative PR the 2017 Dove soap Facebook ad? The Dove ad started with a black woman removing her brown shirt to an Asian woman removing the whitest shirt, appearing to viewers, as suggestive of moving from unclean to clean.
From missed opportunities to complete cluelessness and marketing faux pas, companies that are not inclusive have major blind spots that lead to potentially brand damaging missteps in outreach and advertising.

Lean DEI Approach
1
Customize your DEI Strategy to fit the unique needs of your organization
Identify those most at-risk of being disenfranchised
​
-
Our simple Network Analysis that identifies employees who are on the periphery of your trust and social networks, or are not connected to the key change sponsors in the team. Employees who face bias and have little access to leadership-level advocates are potentially at-risk of being in hostile environments.
​
Find any communication gaps, clogs or silos
​
-
These network inefficiencies prevent issues and incidents from bubbling up in a timely manner, leaving managers exposed to only becoming aware of the problem when it is too late to prevent or correct.
​
Amplify and Reward those employees and managers who lead by example
​
-
Many key employees and leaders play informal roles in teams that supplement their day-to-day jobs and help the team and organization build cohesion within the ranks.
