We support organizations in developing a workplace climate that supports, includes, and develops every employee in order to help them live up to their full professional potential. It is important to note that when we use the term diversity, we are talking about everyone.
Cultural Competence and Global Perspective
We provide consultation, education, and support on cultural competence and related global issues, ensuring your ability to operate effectively on a truly global level. Additionally, we support the development of cross-cultural teams; consult on tapping new markets (employee and customer); and coach executives on demonstrating respect while achieving business goals across cultures.
Organizational Effectiveness
We can help your organization develop a workplace climate that drives the attainment of business goals. We do this through addressing everything from policies and systems to leadership style, communication, individual behaviors, and accountability.
Leadership Development
In order to help your organization get the most out of their employees, we can help leaders strengthen their skills in inspiring, motivating, supporting, recognizing, rewarding, and developing employees from all walks of life.
Values-centered Business Practices
Too often, organizations state their values, yet do not know how to apply them to day-to-day business realities. We help organizations align their policies, systems, leadership styles, and employee behaviors with their stated organizational values.
Excerpts
"It seems that whenever an organizational issue arises, someone wants to do a survey, but most surveys only tell you what you already know, or they are so general that it's hard to act on the data. In working with GIS, I came to respect the science of cultural assessment work. They create surveys that are highly usable and pinpoint root causes. The analysis is simple and straight forward and the recommendations are actionable. GIS really helps you focus your energy on the areas that will have the biggest impact on the business."
