Raise awareness, embed inclusion and equip your people to be effective allies through our practical, informative and engaging in-person or virtual workshops - all tailored for each organisation, learning aims and audience.

Examples of workshops delivered for clients include active allyship, navigating bias and non-inclusive behaviours, cultural intelligence, effective conversations about workplace inclusion and inclusive leadership regarding a broad range of inclusion agendas.

Diversity, equity and inclusion strategy

Through collaborative audits, progress review, opportunity-mapping and strategy development , we will help you to clarify your DEI vision and relevant actions. We also work alongside our client organisations to identify measures of success to achieve tangible progress.

With Sunita’s extensive experience working as a leader of employee networks, we advise networks on their strategy, events programmes, employee engagement and how to make an impact through core activities.

INSIGHT AND Listening sessions

We design and deliver insight and listening sessions so you can understand how your people feel and what is important to them regarding employee engagement, diversity and inclusion, change programmes or new people projects.
