EDI Training & Facilitation
At Synergy Executive & Boards Consulting Group, we believe adopting an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) lens and approach represents an organizational culture shift. To make this shift, companies, starting with senior management and the board, need to understand their current EDI baseline, define EDI targets, implement organizational changes and develop the governance and reporting frameworks to ensure sustained success. Our expert EDI practitioners have built timely and relevant workshops that can be tailored to your needs.
What is EDI and Why is it Important?
Can you have diversity but not have equity or inclusion? The answer is, yes. In this workshop, we will review what equity, diversity and inclusion mean; what they look like in an organization, and why it’s crucial to have all three.
Decolonizing The Boardroom
This workshop brings awareness to biases, discrimination and other systemic problems that are embedded in the processes of the boardroom. The goal is to have a lens into which a roadmap for change can be implemented.
Board Diversity and Decision-Making
In this workshop, you will learn the key pitfalls that homogenous boards experience when making decisions, understanding the critical elements for board-level decisions and the board diversity framework.
Understanding Your Current Baseline
Conducting an EDI Audit and establishing your current EDI baseline is a key step in identifying the scope of your organization’s EDI efforts. By conducting an EDI Audit, you will ensure that your organization is allocating its resources in an effective way, focused on implementing the most impactful initiatives, and performing alongside or better than its competitors.
You will learn how to conduct an EDI Audit; understanding EDI results and how to define appropriate EDI targets and industry benchmarks
Implementing a Comprehensive EDI Strategy
Now that you have acquired foundational EDI knowledge, commitment from leadership and the relevant data, this workshop will help you identify initiatives, policies and procedures that will create new operational systems that support a more diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace. Measuring the success of these organizational changes will be imperative as your organization grows. You will also learn to roll out organizational change initiatives and monitor and evaluate progress over time.
