the approach
The Inclusion Practice is dedicated to building a world where all employees can go to work as their authentic selves and build the equitable products that change the world. By prioritizing inclusion you are working to create an environment that welcomes and inspires people from diverse backgrounds to share their most innovative ideas.
We work to meet companies and organizations where they are in their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) journeys. We lead with empathy and understanding, and moves at the speed of trust. The Inclusion Practice begins every project by asking clients what they want to learn or achieve, and then together we work to develop and implement a customized approach that meets the needs of the organization.
