Diversity Strategy
Building Diverse Workforces for Business Results
We partner with diversity officers to create strategies— built on a foundation of shared values and beliefs— that win top management’s highest commitment and drive business results.
A Comprehensive Diversity Strategy
WFD works collaboratively with your diversity council or other diversity leadership group to create a diversity strategy. If you don’t have a diversity leadership group, we’ll help you set one up. Whether you have an existing diversity initiative or are just launching one, we typically start with an assessment of the current state of diversity in your organization. Using your data or ours, the assessment identifies the progress that has been made or existing strengths on which success can be built, what needs to be improved, what barriers exist to the recruitment, retention, promotion, and engagement of a diverse workforce, and how diversity influences business results. We also take a careful look at what your human resources information and employee surveys say about diversity. We analyze the data and partnering with your diversity team, we present the results to your diversity council or senior management team along with recommendations for a one-anda-half to three-year strategy and establish a series of strategic agreements with action plans and measures. WFD builds a diversity strategy on six pillars that drive organizational change and align diversity values and beliefs with business goals. The initiatives that you undertake in each pillar are designed and structured to your unique business context and requirements. The pillars can always be tailored to your pre-existing diversity model.
