DEI Strategy, Policy & Governance

Making sure that your DE&I Strategy is not a tick-box exercise and that it forms the foundation of all your DE&I activity is our number one priority.  Change fatigue can be linked to ineffective strategy, we work with clients to avoid this.

Using our certification programmes, we are able to ensure clients approach to attraction, selection and retention are the best in their sector.  The war-on-talent is real and is set to intensify; Inclusion Crowd provide the new industry standard solutions. 

There is very little point investing in attracting and selecting talent, if they don't see themselves reflected in your business, when they arrive.  Succession planning and effective personal development programmes are essential, if clients want to keep the talent and develop underrepresented talent into senior roles.

We are very pleased to see DE&I and Social Value becoming a driver in bids and BD activity; especially with public sector clients.  Inclusion Crowd support our clients to outperform the competition when it comes to Inclusion & Diversity and in doing so, providing clients with a critical competitive advantage.   

At the heart of better DE&I performance is ultimately great change and culture management.  This essential discipline is required to remove resistance & fatigue and support the aspirations of the business.  Managing and supporting diverse teams and inclusive cultures can be challenging, which is why Inclusion Crowd are here to support with this journey.

There are many communities that rely and interact and have an interest in our clients performance, especially when it comes to ethics and social value.  Managing these communities and making them part of the solution is a game changer!  The skills & support already exists within your network, Inclusion Crowd facilitates this collaboration and engagement for our clients.

Let's face it we can plan and strategise until the cows come home but it is your people who need to deliver and drive the improvement.  Therefore we work relentlessly with teams to enable an inclusive management & operational culture.  Providing confidence and support to leaders and managers to 'do it for themselves'.  

We offer tailored professional coaching & mentoring for your staff, at all levels.  It is important for staff to have access to safe spaces that are designed to challenge, inspire and support their role.  Staff have conflicting priorities, agendas and schedules as well as complex private lives; personal coaching and support is an investment that pays dividends for all parties.  

Lots of organisations have staff engagement initiatives and staff network groups.  The missing link is often how they feed the DE&I strategy and group decision making.  If these communities are competing for airtime and not working together strategically, they are a nice-to-have as opposed to effective part of the solution.  

We work with our clients to ensure their conferences and events are meaningful, impactful and serve a purpose.  DE&I has become a trendy echo-chamber in many cases and to inspire real structural change, we need to up our game.   Authenticity and credibility are at the heart of all we do and this translates into how we support clients to cut through the noise.  

The easy bit is conducting audits and assessments, there is nothing groundbreaking here.  The discipline is how we link these to the DE&I strategy and ensure they are live and continually evolving programmes.  All-to-often we see organisations use these a snapshot in time which gives them a very short lifespan and doesn't future-proof the DE&I objectives.  We embed these into our clients operational culture which supports growth. 

Our network is a collection of some pretty amazing people and we are happy to facilitate these connections for our clients.  

Welcome to the official home of the 'Licence to Recruit'.  

Licence to Recruit is an official 'Certification Mark' granted by the Intellectual Property Office (IPO).

Diversity and inclusion in the workplace is our top priority. 

The 'Licence to Hire' answers one of the big questions   

"are the people who are making the hiring decisions, confident and capable?"

Hiring managers are the often forgotten missing link, when ensuring diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

Using our positive psychology approach we have designed an industry leading leadership and management programme.

'The Licence to Lead'.  Helping clients improve diversity and inclusion through inspiring, credible & authentic leadership.

Investor groups, funds and VC's are all a critical piece of the Inclusion and Diversity puzzle.  

With their power and influence, investment communities are in a position to lead by example and drive real structural change!

We support investors by working with their teams to deliver better commercial results through best-practice DE&I.

DE&I also needs to be driven from within the supply chain as well as the individual organisational performance.  

We support clients to ensure their supply chain reflects their standards and values.

More and more clients want to see social-value represented in bids & BD.

Please don't talk to us about unconscious bias training (we just hear ism's).  UB training is a small part of the overall solution.

Our approach uses real-life lived experiences and human-to-human connections that create the motivation for change.

The Inclusion Academy is packed with resources, videos, live communities and tool-kits.
