Diversity and Beyond Inc. is a consulting firm focused on helping identify, assess, and solve the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) challenges and opportunities facing companies and other organizations. We have experience leading the DEI mandates for national and regional operations of several Fortune 500 and SME companies. By working with leaders, DEI committees, HR, and employees, we are able to diagnose and assess the current state of DEI and then utilise these insights in the development of strategies, goals, policies and programs. Our services have greatly aided dozens of employers and have led to many becoming industry front-runners in the diversity and inclusion space.  

Our highly interactive training program creates awareness and pushes organizations to review their systems, processes, and work culture.  Our services are based on diagnostics, business insights, knowledge of best practices, assessment, training, coaching and measurement metrics.  Our experience includes working with a wide range of large corporations and SMEs in sectors including finance, healthcare, banking, not-for-profit, education, publishing, retail, and technology.

Improving a corporation’s DEI performance is not only important for better workplace culture and social justice, there is also a strong business case for it. Many studies, including by McKinsey, BCG and others, have found that increasing the diversity of leadership teams led to more and better innovation and improved financial performance.  In addition, investors and consumers are increasingly making decisions to invest in and buy from brands with strong and demonstrated commitment for DEI.
