Some of our projects
The organisation complies with government targets and strategies but does not think outside these parameters. Activities are driven by risk mitigation and focus on diversity rather than equity or inclusion.
Compliant
The organisation implements programs to source greater demographic diversity of talent. These efforts may be undertaken without preparing for the inclusion of the new talent.
Segmented
The organisation adapts to respond to underrepresented groups (such as through unconscious bias or cultural competency training). But without a more comprehensive approach to inclusion, the majority culture may overwhelm efforts to better respond to diversity.
Accommodating
The organisation works to include its diversity of talent in organisational processes. It leverages the experience across a diversity of groups, and diversity is seen to promote better outcomes. Inclusion is integrated into processes and moments that matter.
Inclusive
The organisation recognises the power of inclusive practices, which are reflected in systems, processes, data collection and organisational norms. The organisation leverages diversity of thought to respond to its strengths and challenges.
Equitable
The organisation integrates and leverages equity, diversity and inclusion at all levels – grass roots, management and leadership. The organisation is recognised for its culture, which results from equitable and inclusive practices and systems.
