“After attending the ‘accelerating your inclusion journey’ masterclass, I then signed up for the ‘kick start your inclusion journey health check’. This experience was instrumental in assessing where we are on our inclusion journey and identifying the areas we need to address, based around leadership, policies and practices, workforce diversity, communication and engagement from an inclusion perspective. Throughout the process Victoria’s expertise and passion for diversity were clearly evident. As a result, I now have an action plan with clear guidance on key areas to focus on with practical steps of what and how to implement changes to accelerate our inclusion journey. Working with Victoria was a positive experience and her genuine passion for driving meaningful change shone through and I would be very happy to work with Victoria in the future.”

Level 4 Develop your long-term Inclusion strategy: Done for you Deep Dive

Cost: £995 per year (Quarterly 1 hour check in calls and e-mail support)

Training

Working with you we co-design and deliver training to leaders, managers and employees to inspire, build confidence and encourage ownership to build more inclusive workplace cultures.

Training is available across a range of inclusion topics including:

  • inclusive cultures,

  • micro aggressions

  • preventing sexual harassment at work

  • inclusive leadership,

  • hiring,

  • ED&I for HR

  • diversity data

Benefits:

Training will not only reduce the risk of litigation, the benefits are much wider. It will give employees the tools and confidence to challenge inappropriate behaviour at work, encourage more inclusive behaviours in their day to day role and lead teams more inclusively. This means better retention, less turnover and higher performing teams.

If you choose to have an Inclusion DEEP DIVE, the findings from this can then shape the content of the training to ensure it addresses the most business-critical issues for you and your workforce. 

Inclusive Recruitment Spot Checks

The benefits of attracting and recruiting more diverse talent is a top priority for more and more employers yet where do you start? Job adverts and descriptions are often the first impressions that potential candidates form of an employer. Getting the wording and language right is paramount to attracting a more diverse pool of candidates and really showcasing your commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.

What’s involved?

  • A light touch review of a job role- advert, description and where relevant, the recruitment pack

  • Summary outlining areas for improvement and recommendations for how to make the JD, person spec and ED&I commitment more inclusive

The benefits to your business:

  • Easy to implement actions to attract more diverse candidates to apply including a summary of tips and hints to support them to make their recruitment practices more inclusive.

Cost: £300 per spot check

Monthly Retainer Support for People professionals

Our monthly retainer support package is ideal for HR Leaders who don’t have a dedicated ED&I Lead. Providing monthly support, guidance and advice via video calls and e-mail, we can act as a sounding board and provide bespoke solutions to your most common ED&I challenges, review and update key people policies to ensure they are inclusive and provide mini inclusion health checks to help you identify where the gaps are and come up with a plan of action.

Monthly retainers often include:

  • 4 policy reviews each quarter

  • Monthly video call with Victoria to discuss any specific issues or queries

  • Unlimited e-mail support for any ad hoc queries

This will give you peace of mind, ongoing support when you need it most and solutions to your key inclusion challenges to support your organisation to navigate the complexities of ED&I and support you to reach your inclusion goals.

Cost: £800 per month

Equality Impact Assessments

Often seen as a tick box exercise, if done well and at the right time Equality Impact Assessment can produce tangible outcomes for your business when introducing a new policy, strategy or project across the organisation. Similar to a risk assessment, it challenges our assumptions that a policy, strategy or project affects everyone the same way.

Already familiar with Equality Impact Assessments but need a refresher on how to carry them out? We offer virtual classroom training sessions and one to one coaching to HR, managers and others with responsibility for policy decisions. These are half day sessions and you will come away at the end of the session with a better understanding of the importance of EqIAs, a step by step guide to carrying out an EqIA and how to carry out an EqIA on a policy/strategy/project.
