In this era for social justice and equitable treatment, employers need actionable frameworks for systemic change. They need to understand how homogeneity, exclusion, violence, oppression and injustice are operating in the organizational culture and they must have plans in place to change things.

At All Things Equitable, we go beyond diversity and inclusion. We work with employers to make system-wide improvements and transform workplaces at the root. We help employers create strategies with year-over-year achievable priorities to accelerate inclusion, engage stakeholders, restore relationships with employees, and strengthen partnerships. Using an interdisciplinary team of professionals, we help you create diverse, inclusive, and safe workplaces that support the mental health and wellbeing of all your employees.

Employers need a structured approach to transition teams and organizations to diverse, inclusive, and safe workplaces that support the wellbeing of all employees. With consultants certified in process improvement and change management, and with expertise in enterprise-wide diversity, equity, and inclusion strategic planning and implementation, we have the skills to take an organization from its current state to its desired future state, to implement a vision and strategy, and reduce resistance to change. We also have the know how to help organizations drive change initiatives or lead transformation projects and we work with leadership teams to lead and implement diversity, equity and inclusion strategy.

Employers should constantly be assessing and thinking about the organizational culture they want to create. When leaders predominantly come from one kind of perspective, education, or lived experience, inequities may be inadvertently created across social and political identities like race, class, sexuality, ability, nationality, religion, or gender. Leaders who also lack cultural competency make harmful decisions. They have blindspots and which often lead to mistakes, misunderstandings and conflicts.

We work with identified leaders to increase their self awareness and their cultural competence to build equitable systems that effect systemic change and workplaces that are psychologically safe. We teach leaders to appreciate the unique value each employee adds to an organization, to support all employees to bring their whole selves to work, and to maximize their contributions. Through coaching, we provide senior leaders with innovative solutions to promote a culture of inclusion at work. We help them to develop the ability to discover potentially problematic barriers, to understand their rights and responsibilities under legislation, and to create equitable policies and practices, resources and supports, to ensure employee engagement and success.

We have a deep understanding of the ways in which groups of people may be marginalized in your workforce and we know the best practices in the diversity, equity and inclusion industry. We can provide strategic insights and skills. We have the advantage of experience having walked organizations through similar problems in the past. We know what works and what doesn’t and can bring new, innovative ideas to your organization that you would not envision.

We have significant skill helping organizations modernize practices so that they are more attuned to their workforce and more responsive to the needs of the communities they serve.

Certain organizations must establish committees to identify and break down barriers for equity-seeking groups and involve them in their planning processes. For example, where Accessibility Advisory Committees are required in Ontario, we can help guide your organization in the best way to establish the committee, assist in determining the committees’ work plan priorities and guide accessibility coordinators in promoting and coordinating accessibility throughout your organization.

We also can help you establish certain employee resource groups and set those groups up for success. From attracting and retaining the best talent to promoting leadership and development, we help establish the internal support systems to encourage diversity, inclusion, and equity at all levels.
