Case Studies
Client: Professional Services Firm
Challenge: To assist the company to better understand its strengths and challenges relative to diversity and to develop a strategic plan to enhance diversity.
What we did: Ibis consultants helped launch a Diversity Committee to guide the diversity process. We conducted assessments of the six global offices, and provided a roadmap of issues that needed to be addressed at the corporate and local levels. Ibis conducted a two-day retreat for the Diversity Committee to clarify its mission, hear findings of the assessment and prioritize recommendations for action. Ibis also provided training to all employees in the New York office exploring ways to foster creativity and problem-solving by enhancing inclusion.
Results: Senior management in New York reports that the training had a significant impact – the office has become more open to differences and better able to leverage its diversity. They are seeing more innovative solutions to client problems. Also, a Director of Diversity was appointed at the corporate level to direct on-going diversity efforts, address issues identified in the assessment and implement recommendations.
