Diversity, when coupled with Equity & Inclusion, brings ‘meaningful cognitive dissonance’ to the organization. This gives rise to better discussion, problem solving, innovation and collaboration.

Why an organization chooses to commit to DEI may vary. It can be concrete business benefits for one, a moral/social obligation for some or a tool for employer branding for others. However, what remains common is the challenge in moving from DEI intent to concrete strategy and action.

At Renaissance, we believe that creating a Diverse, yet Inclusive, workplace is all about culture change. We focus on influencing mindsets and processes.

  • How do we build trust across diverse teams?
  • How do we ensure that our internal processes, like recruitment or talent, reflects equity?
  • How do I help my managers be effective in diversity mentoring?
  • How do we create leaders/managers who believe in and demonstrate inclusive leadership?
  • We have a diverse workforce. But how do we leverage the diversity of thoughts & experiences to drive innovation?
