When everyone is included, everyone wins,’ – Diversity and inclusion (D&I) has become a hot topic of discussion at every inclusion summit, and HR gathering, and has topped the charts in terms of an organization’s hiring practices. It is easy to see why! When you have people from different backgrounds and cultures you bring new ideas to the table, enhance your productivity, and grow your business in ways not known before.

However, talking about D&I is one thing and implementing it is another different ball game. This is where a human resource consulting firm can come to your rescue. The consultants have years of experience across multiple industries and would help you establish and improve your D&I efforts across the entire organization. We feel that instead of treating D&I as a separate entity or function, it should be embedded within the ethos of the organization, like part of being in its DNA.

With that in mind, let us now take a closer look at how our qualified Human Resource consultants can support your D&I initiatives –

• Evaluate the readiness: The first thing here is to understand where you stand in terms of your D&I initiatives. We take a top-down approach and evaluate all the processes and practices related to D&I within your organization. The aim is to evaluate existing processes and understand the gaps and discover opportunities for improvement.
• Create a sustainable strategy: Every organization knows about the importance of D&I and wants to create impactful strategies, but the enthusiasm falls flat on the ground without the foundation. We will help you create a foundational strategy that can be implemented and can be sustained over a period of time. This means that you are at the top of your human capital development and have a robust strategy in place that is aligned with the organizational values as well as with the different departments and business practices.
• Get employees involved: The strategy would work best when you have the buy-in from all employees within your organization. This means that we would involve your employees in this strategy. They would be trained on the importance of D&I; learning how to embrace it and in turn, practice it in their respective teams and functions. This creates a sense of ownership, and the D&I percolates through the organization till the last mile executives.
• Enhance your talent practices: Coming to hiring and onboarding, you need to work on your talent strategy. Right from making jobs accessible to all without any discrimination to ensuring that there is no bias involved at any stage of the recruitment process, we will help you analyze and improve your hiring strategies.
• D&I training and resources: D&I is not a one-time process; it is more of an iterative process where you keep practicing it day in and day out. Hence, our human capital consultancy services are equipped with ongoing D&I training, as required. We conduct regular training and share valuable resources with your employees.
