Equitable Briefing and Procurement: We assist legal and professional firms in developing and implementing equitable briefing policies that promote gender equality and diversity in your external partnerships.

A healthy workplace culture is a legally and professionally compliant one. We offer:

Workplace Investigations: We provide impartial and professional investigation services for complaints of harassment, discrimination, or misconduct, ensuring a fair and confidential process that minimises legal exposure.

Psychosocial Risk Audits: Our experts conduct thorough assessments to identify and mitigate psychosocial risks, helping you meet your obligations under WHS legislation and creating a psychologically safe environment for all employees.

Cultural Reviews and Surveys: Using a blend of data-driven analysis and human-centered insights, we review your workplace culture to pinpoint areas of risk and opportunity related to inclusion, respect, and belonging.

Knowledge is key to prevention. Our practical, engaging, and compliant training programs empower your team to foster a more inclusive workplace. Our offerings include:

Cultural Competency Workshops: Providing your team with the tools to communicate and collaborate effectively across diverse cultural backgrounds.

Inclusive Leadership Training: Equipping leaders with the skills to lead diverse teams, disrupt bias, and champion an inclusive culture.

Strategic Succession Planning: We partner with you to develop a pipeline of diverse talent, ensuring that your organization is prepared for future leadership needs and has a succession plan that reflects a commitment to inclusion.

Beyond the Usual Suspects: We move beyond traditional networks to identify and attract exceptional, diverse talent for board and C-suite roles, including women, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, and other underrepresented groups.

Diversity-Led Search: Our search process is intentionally designed to mitigate bias. We focus on a candidate’s potential, skills, and strategic fit, not just their past experience, helping you find leaders who will bring new perspectives and drive innovation.
