If you want high level EDI policies to work, they need to start by doing the deeply personal, foundational work that most organizations avoid.
Did your company panic and rush to cobble together a new EDI policy in 2020 - mandatory trainings, new hiring practices - but the changes didn’t stick?
Are your employees afraid to broach these topics because they’re nervous they’ll say the wrong thing … so they stay quiet and feel disengaged and disconnected from their colleagues?
Or maybe your team members aren’t comfortable acknowledging their own diversity and asking for accommodation or support?
EDI training programs often don’t give the results we’d hope, or just partial results. They create awareness but not behaviour change. We must give employees the space to explore their own personal relationship to EDI before we can fill them with knowledge and skills.
This compassionate, impactful EDI group coaching helps your team do the often-overlooked inner work that’s the bedrock of any effective EDI program.
Imagine: A more curious, empathic, compassionate, kind team. Your staff feels a sense of belonging within themselves and belonging in their work places.
Our six month group coaching program helps your organization create a workplace that fosters more innovation, creativity, and employee well-being.
The truth is this: EDI work needs an urgent approach, but it is not urgent work. Shifting culture is a slow process.
This is why the EDI group coaching program runs for six months and focuses largely on inner work. This inner work is necessary before any organization can make big, impactful shifts
EDI group coaching for organizations who want to create a more equitable workplace without alienating people, placing blame, or going too fast.
