At EMBED we're passionate about helping organisations to create environments where staff, customers, visitors and communities have equal access, feel included, represented and valued.
We know that many organisations share this view and want to improve their own approach to equality, diversity and inclusion but find it difficult to access expert advice that is tailored, practical and affordable.
We help our clients to achieve their EDI objectives through our tried and tested approach. We use a combination of auditing and coaching to help you to gain real insight into where your organisation is already welcoming and inclusive - and a constructive critical friend approach to help you to identify exciting and innovative opportunities for improvement.
Our portfolio of diversity, accessibility and inclusion services can be used individually or together depending on your business priorities, current commitment to diversity and inclusion, budget and resources.
Take a look through our service offerings below.
We believe that embedding culture change centered around EDI, starts with taking an honest look at ourselves. Using interviews, focus groups and surveys, we will review your organisation through the lens of EDI to help you to identify good practice and opportunities for improvement. We will underpin this work with a desktop review of your HR Policies and Processes. Find out more about our EDI Reviews
