I&D Consultancy Practice:
We have lived experience
and have successfully moved
the diversity dial for over a decade.
However, we know that diversity is
not enough as organisations that
strive for diversity without nurturing
inclusivity are unlikely to reap the
real benefits of having a diverse
workforce.
Executive Search:
Our talent attraction strategy was
the first in our sector to be Clear
Assured. Over the past 11 years,
we have developed industry
defining enhancements that add
sustainable impact to our clients
- and we consistently deliver on
our promise of “Right First Time”.
Board Practice & Advisory:
We are proud to be special
advisors to The Parker Review,
The Davies Review and The
McGregor-Smith Review.
We placed the most diverse board
in history to TFL, becoming a
strategic resourcing partner to
the Mayor of London.
Interim Management:
We are an industry recognised,
accredited tier one supplier of
Interim Managers, Directors
and Consultants. We are proud
to be a Strategic Interim Partner
to The Department of
International Trade and HS2,
one of the world’s largest global
staffing infrastructures.

7. A DIVERSE APPROACH TO LEADERSHIP
As leaders look for ways to build a fairer
society……..
It is important to note that inclusive workplaces
have a significant role to play in making people
from minority groups feel more included in our
society.
These workplaces also enable people learn
more about each other.
“The distribution of jobs within society and
perceptions about who has access to opportunities –
and why - can shape people’s expectations and
aspirations for the future, their sense of having a
stake in society, and perceptions of fairness.
Job loss or lack of access to jobs
is associated with lower
levels of trust and civic engagement.”
(World Bank, 2013)

Today’s business leaders are increasingly becoming
aware that Inclusion and Diversity are critical to
performance.
However, many leaders don’t know how to close the gap
between aspiration and reality because
their organisations lack the internal capability and
expertise to clearly communicate why they value diversity,
develop inclusive strategies or embed inclusive practices.
While our recruitment service supports organisations so
they are able to attract diverse talent, our dedicated I&D
Consultancy Practice supports leaders and
organisations so that they are able to build the
knowledge and internal capability needed to develop
inclusive workplaces.
