IMPACT Workshop
Our training is foundational to any DEIB program. What clients learn with us will set every aspect of your DEIB program up for success.
It’s not a lecture.
IMPACT is an interactive and engaging experience that involves active training techniques, gamification, storytelling, role playing and group activities to bring people together and move them to action.
What is DEIB?
DEIB stands for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging.
Diversity represents your organization’s demographic DNA and your ability to attract and retain employees from different nationalities, ethnic groups, gender identities, socio-economic backgrounds, education levels and lived experience.
Equity involves hiring, promotion, development, learning and engagement strategies and how they work to correct for historic disadvantages and even the playing field moving forward.
Inclusion is seen in how companies proactively integrate each team member into their organization in effective and authentic ways.
Belonging is the end goal of the three. If DEI are accounted for, employees will feel a sense of belonging which results in increased productivity and retention.
Why you need it
Research from McKinsey shows diverse and inclusive companies tend to be more profitable. They also show greater creativity and innovation.
Investing in DEIB helps companies be more adaptable. Harvard reported that every 0.1-point improvement in DEIB ratings for a company (on a 5-point scale) was linked to a corresponding 13% increase in the absolute change-power score on average. Previous research has found change power to be associated with a 2X improvement in EBIT margins, 2X in total shareholder return, and 1.5-3X in revenue growth.
Gender balance is a big business opportunity, with huge economic implications.
