We Help You See Your Organization ClearlyAre your human resources policies and practices in full compliance with equity-related legislation? What barriers exist to the hiring, advancement, and full inclusion of the equity-deserving groups within your organization? How can the organization remove these barriers and diversify the workforce, treat employees more equitably, and foster inclusive work environments?
Are there barriers to accessing your programs or services? Do you program policies reflect the needs of people from diverse communities, backgrounds, and identities? When they access your services are your clients and service users treated equitably? Do they benefit from your programs and services? Whether the focus is on your workplace or service delivery, our Equity Audits can find the answers to these questions, uncovering the systemic patterns that create and maintain inequities. We assess your organization’s internal structures, policies, and practices, workplace culture, and delivery of programs and services with the goal of identifying where inequities exist and provide recommendations to address them.
