What We Do

Strategic Internal Communications
We work with our clients to develop strategic internal communications programs designed to maximize professional employee commitment. We continually seek and share best communications practices with our clients to ensure that senior management delivers clear messages, and that employees understand a company's strategy, objectives, culture, policies and values.

Sustainable Organizational Change
Today’s fast-paced marketplace requires that organizations regularly change the way they operate. Most organizations face the double burden of having to implement change and, more importantly, to ensure employees embrace change. Organizational change, whether it entails a merger, relocation or reorganization of employees, affects a firm’s people personally as well as professionally. We help companies to plan for and implement broad organizational change, one of the most challenging processes that a company can face. The result is a smooth transition with minimal business interruption.

Diversity Recruiting and Retention
The foundation of our diversity work is inclusion. We believe companies that value all employees for their differences gain a competitive advantage. We take a pragmatic approach to offering employees tangible tools for thriving in diverse environments.

What We Offer

With extensive and deep experience helping organizations to achieve their goals, we can assist clients with a broad array of initiatives:

Strategic Internal Communications

Strategic Communications Review
We offer a complete evaluation of a company's communications programs, ranging from message development to the creation of collateral materials resulting in practical recommendations tailored to an organization's culture and style.

Executive Message Management
Clarity of messaging is critical in enabling employees to express the goals of an organization through their actions at work. We help executive management to define and refine effective messages that focus on the vision, values, mission, goals and business objectives of a company.

Organizational Transformation

Vision and Values Development
Visionary companies have outperformed the general stock market by a factor of 12 since 1925 according to Jim Collins, author of Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies. We help clients articulate their corporate visions and the values that drive them. The finished product embodies a company's deepest aspirations. Each company’s vision and values statement aims to motivate employees and provide a common understanding of a company's strategy, goals and objectives.

Transformations
When a company introduces a new identity, new policies or new programs, employees must change along with the organization. We help clients to implement successful transformations, working closely with employees to ensure they understand the reasons for change and discover ways to personally adapt to the change so the company can achieve its objectives.

Diversity Recruiting, Training and Retention

Advancing Inclusion in the Workplace
Creating innovative, motivating and effective diversity training programs is often a challenge for organizations. We offer concise, customizable training programs that challenge both interested and reluctant employees in unique and innovative ways to understand the benefits of inclusion and the necessity for a diverse workforce.

Strategies for Retaining Diverse Employees
Companies can often be very good at hiring diverse candidates, but can face challenges when trying to retain these employees. We teach managers specific techniques for supporting the unique needs of diverse employees and for recognizing trouble signs early to increase retention of these employees.

Interviewing Skills for Diverse Candidates
Every interviewer may not have the broad background required to recognize excellence in diverse candidates. We offer clients half-day and full-day training sessions to give them the insight to identify qualities such as leadership, teamwork and excellence in candidates with whose backgrounds the interviewer may not be familiar. Our program includes practical, constructive takeaways to ensure more insightful and informative interviews in the future.
