DEI Strategy Review
DEI Strategy Review engagements allow organizations to update their existing DEI strategies or programs to incorporate data previously not collected or to introduce a new lens to their DEI work (e.g. antiracism, accessibility, etc.).
Although a DEI strategy is crucial for the success of any DEI program, not all DEI strategies are created equally, with only 9% of employees rating their organization’s DEI strategy as effective. Ineffective DEI programming has been shown to lead to employee burnout and resentment, wasted money on ineffective initiatives, and no traction on DEI goals. The need for a comprehensive and relevant DEI strategy is crucial. For those organizations with existing strategies, Justice Informed can provide its review to ensure these pitfalls are addressed and your strategy truly speaks to the ambitions and challenges of your staff.

For DEI strategies to be effective, they must be comprehensive, org-wide, and speak to an organization’s staff and leadership and their ambitions and fears regarding DEI. For many organizations, existing DEI strategies often only focus on one area such as hiring at the expense of others. For these clients, Justice Informed offers DEI Strategy Review support to update an existing DEI strategy.
Through staff focus groups, interviews, and detailed policy review, Justice Informed can provide expert recommendations on an existing DEI strategy based on staff feedback as well as our own analysis of themes and data. Following this work, Justice Informed can provide its updates to incorporate new areas of focus, new challenges, or new initiatives to an existing DEI strategy.
By the close of this engagement, clients will leave with a refreshed DEI strategy that is more tailored to staff and leadership goals and the organization’s needs
Justice Informed will survey your staff to identify what your organization’s strengths and learning needs are, and personalize our training series to your organization’s needs. This aims to advance your team to the point where DEI is a more comfortable and consistent conversation. By the end of our engagement, your organization will have developed a foundational level of DEI learning and a report of recommended training next steps.
