The business case for diversity is about the bottom line results that come from making effective use of all the talent in your organization. In an increasingly multicultural world, businesses struggle with forming, retaining, and honoring a diverse workforce. Diversity includes racial/ethnic identity, sexual orientation, gender, age, class, religious beliefs, and other social identities as well as personality styles.

Equity Action understands that non-profit organizations are being asked to meet the needs of a diverse client population in an increasingly multicultural world. The staff and boards of these organizations often do not reflect the diversity of the clients they serve and they struggle to provide culturally relevant programming. Working within a service organization we provide diversity oriented educational programs to increase cultural intelligence and inclusivity. As frequent conference presenters, we deliver keynotes, day-long institutes and workshops that assist non-profits in the achievement of their missions. Equity Action’s commitment to non-profit organizations’ valuable contribution to society is manifested in our discounted fee structure to this sector.

Educational institutions are preparing the next generation of leaders to participate effectively in an increasingly multicultural world. Regardless of the teaching level (K-12, Community College, College, or University) these institutions have a responsibility to address the cultural readiness of administration, staff, and faculty to achieve that goal. In some institutions the faculty and administration do not reflect the full diversity of the student body. In others, predominately white institutions are teaching a predominately white student body. Both situations can result in complex issues and conflict that interfere with the pedagogical process and work against the creation of community. Equity Action specializes in raising the cultural consciousness and cultural intelligence of the entire institution with:

   • Diversity and Inclusion Training and Programs

      (including “Understanding Whiteness/Unraveling Racism”)

   • Cultural Competency for Leaders Certificate Course

   • Staff Development

   • Department Teambuilding using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator^®
