Whilst every organisation will address diversity challenges uniquely because of the different industries in which they operate, the different customers they service and the different profile of their employees, there are certain criteria which are critical for successful implementation of a diversity initiative.

What are these key success criteria? What can we learn from success stories locally and internationally?

Diversity Consulting will bring a worldwide best practice perspective to guiding the formulation and development of your diversity strategy. We will help you and your Diversity Council address questions such as:

• Which is the fastest and most effective way to transform your culture:
     - bottom-up or top-down?
     - Behaviour or attitude: which change should come first?
  
  
• As you introduce your diversity initiative, should you require or invite your employees to take part? Should participation be mandatory?
  
  
• Should you focus externally on engaging your diverse consumer base or focus first and foremost on diversity inside your organisation? Are the two mutually exclusive?
  
  
• Should HR or leadership be made primarily accountable for driving this strategy and how to set up such accountability?
  

These are just a few of the many pointed questions that should be addressed to inform your Diversity Strategy. Organisations seeking to launch or re-energise a diversity initiative can avoid many past mistakes and build on the extensive knowledge gained from decades of experience by a wide range of organisations worldwide.
