Program Format
Inclusive Leadership engagements span 3-6 months and combine awareness-building workshops, skill development, coaching on leadership behavior change, and organizational system assessment. The program includes pre- and post-engagement diversity/inclusion surveys, identification of systemic barriers, and implementation of practice changes. Leaders engage in self-reflection on bias and privilege, peer learning, and accountability. Success is measured through shifts in leadership behavior, employee inclusion metrics (sense of belonging, psychological safety), representation in advancement, and retention of underrepresented talent.
