ASSESSMENT, ROADMAP & LEADERSHIP BUY IN
With a smaller US based construction and engineering company beginning their DEI journey, we facilitated a company-wide DEI Assessment to gain metrics around perceptions and demographic data.
We then facilitated a daylong DEI Strategy & Roadmap session with their DEI committee and senior leadership team incorporating the DEI assessment data results.
To gain senior leadership buy-in we then facilitated an in person leadership training day to share out the strategy and roadmap and gain executive buy-in around expectations and commitments.
DEI LAUNCH & COMPANY COMMUNICATIONS
With a global US based manufacturing company beginning their DEI journey, we facilitated a multi hour DEI Strategy & Roadmap session with their DEI committee and senior leadership team to dial in on key initiatives for the coming three years.
We are assisting with Right Sized DEI content for communications to the broader organization to share about the progress of the DEI committee.
We also explain the roadmap and strategy to the organization in small doses, as well as provide some introductory DEI and allyship learning content.
“Working with the team at Next Pivot proved to be influential in our D+I journey.”
“Our company wanted to get candid perspectives from our associates in both the U.S. and around the world as we framed up our focus on global Diversity and Inclusion. We worked with Next Pivot Point to deploy a series of focus groups, and we could not have been more pleased with the outcomes. Julie and her team were true partners as we coordinated the logistics of holding facilitated discussions with associates across the globe. They provided insights and recommendations that we were able to implement into our approach.
