Diversity Consulting to Match the Client's Culture
Through customized approaches, we deliver consulting that fits every client's unique culture. We help organizational leaders implement and integrate systems of recruitment, performance management, and career development that promote diversity. Once systems and processes are in place to foster diversity, Concentrics' consultants provide individuals with knowledge and tools to perform successfully within a workplace that prizes difference.
What Do You Mean by Diversity?
Our view of diversity is one that incorporates more than race and gender. It involves work and learning styles, as well as ethnicity, culture, age and sexual orientation. By scrutinizing stereotypes, unfounded beliefs, myths and behaviors that hinder productivity, we custom-design programs and interventions that address the unique culture of each client organization, and employ these basic principles when working with clients on diversity issues:
- Take the Organization Where You Find It
Starting with a clear assessment of the current state of the organization with respect to diversity, we move it towards a vision of a more diverse organization.
- Gain Unanimous Leadership Support
Leadership must wholeheartedly endorse and support a diversity effort, communicating and modeling a clear vision that inspires others to develop a diverse organization.
- Employ a Wide-Angle View
The approach to enhancing diversity is multifaceted, involving organizational systems, structures, policies, programs, education and training.
- Involve Employees in Every Aspect
To gain their acceptance, employees must be invited to help shape the vision, goals and processes of the diversity initiative right from the onset.
Diversity Supports the Bottom Line
Concentrics works with clients who recognize diversity as a competitive advantage that can improve productivity and profits. Concentrics looks at an organization's frame of mind, its point of view. We examine how that point of view affects results across a broad front. We emphasize the organization's responsibility to establish policies and practices that support a diverse culture, from recruitment to professional development efforts.
