Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe “ I am cast upon a horrible, desolate island, void of all hope of recovery. I am singled out and separated, as it were, from all of the world, to be miserable. I am divided from mankind, a solitary; one banished from human society. I have no soul to speak to or to relieve me”

Organisations with inclusive cultures outperform those that don’t. Simple as!

Rethinking cultures for us is about two things really.

• Raising awareness
• Taking action

We support organisations through:

• Group and individual coaching sessions to raise awareness of biases, challenge behaviours in a psychological safe environment. If your organisation truly believes in an inclusive culture that mirrors your diverse client base then this is for you. Expect positive disruption in service of changing paradigms.

• Setting up BAME Cafes – where the focus is on creating a safe haven to talk and share experiences; Reflecting on and gaining confidence in finding your voice; ensuring that every member of staff feels inclusion, equity and belonging; co creating the vision and purpose of the cafes and identifying where positive action can be called for and accountability to change expected

• CMI Level 5 Award in Managing Equality, Diversity and inclusion -This qualification is designed for practising middle managers and leaders who are typically accountable to a senior manager or business owner. It is aimed at enabling practising or aspiring managers to understand the business case for equality, diversity and inclusion and the role of managers in creating inclusive cultures.

• CMI Level 7 Strategic Approaches to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion - There is a moral, financial and legal business case for excellent practice in equality, diversity and inclusion in an organisational context. Ensuring it is led effectively at a strategic level requires knowledge, understanding, skills, behaviours and tenacity to keep pace with the momentum of change. Strategically, equality, diversity and inclusion matters. An understanding of the topic not only impacts on the success of strategic objectives but it mitigates risk and enables a culture of support and wellbeing to thrive. The aim of this unit is to enable leaders to develop an in-depth understanding of equality, diversity and inclusion at a strategic level. Leaders will have the opportunity to critically assess structural inequality within an organisational and societal context. They will discuss approaches to comply with legal and good practice requirements and to appraise the influence of equality, diversity and inclusion on strategic objectives. The unit culminates in leaders being given the opportunity to develop strategic priorities for equality, diversity and inclusion. Contact us for more information.
