The Increase Diversity™ Roadmap serves as a unifying compass, aligning your organization's vision and values, fostering a shared understanding, and inspiring collective engagement toward a more inclusive and collaborative future.
In today's competitive business environment, it is more crucial than ever for workplaces to gain the advantages of diversity recruiting and retention. But how can we do so effectively without causing unintended harm to our job applicants, employees, customers, community, and overall brand reputation?
We understand that there is no silver bullet solution to this complex issue, and it is not solely the responsibility of recruiters. The ID Roadmap is a training and consulting program designed to guide workplaces like yours to create a diverse and inclusive environment through diversity recruiting and retention programs. We believe that true workplace representation can be achieved without compromising the well-being of individuals or the integrity of your organization. Using your unique data as our compass, we enable your organization to take practical steps toward recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce.
Increasing Workplace Diversity Through Recruiting & Retention Programs.
The ID Roadmap follows one critical path from start to finish, identifying actions that a workplace must start doing, stop doing, and continue doing to eliminate bias and increase diversity in your recruiting and retention practices.
The result is lasting change throughout your organization that goes beyond mere intentions, including:
A stronger company and employment brand reputation
Enhanced creativity and innovation
Increased adaptability and competitiveness
Improved decision-making at all levels
A healthier workplace culture with reduced turnover
"While working to increase diversity and retention in our workplaces (without harm), language can be a powerful tool. It has the power to move us all forward or to leave many of us feeling left behind. And unfortunately, too many of our employees have been feeling left out of the conversation about diversity, but it takes us all to make real, sustainable change."
