At Diversity Recruiting Group, we believe that diversity is not a buzzword or a box to check off in order to be in compliance. A diverse workforce leads to innovation and is part of the culture of successful organization.
According to a Forbes 2018 Study on Global Diversity and Inclusion, “The business case for diversity and inclusion is intrinsically linked to a company’s innovation strategy. Multiple and varied voices have a wide range of experiences, and this can help generate new ideas about products and practices. “
We will walk you through the necessary steps to create your successfully diverse workplace:
1. Involve the entire top management team
2. Adapt the organizational structure
3. Communicate about the initiative on continuous basis
4. Create a formal project plan
5. Change all HR initiatives to include diversity
It’s about change management. Our work is built on awareness, intentionality, and openness. New ideas can be difficult at first, but clients have found that incorporating our strategies can result in acceptance and enthusiasm.
Our Diversity, Inclusion and Equity Program will take you from awareness to implementation using a customized process that is effective and impactful. We will help you:
Effectively Influence and Lead
Impact Organizational Behavior, and
Become an Employer of Choice

Elements of diversity and inclusion need to be embedded into the framework of your organizational culture. If you review your mission, vision and values and can’t immediately confirm that the majority of your employees know what your mission is -- let alone believe in it -- it will be impossible to embed diversity into a culture that your employees don’t currently buy into. There’s a conversation that needs to be had and it does not need to be difficult.
Starting with awareness, we will focus on helping you create commitment to a process. Our framework, brought to you via interactive presentations, will facilitate dialogue, weigh the business case against the moral reasoning and discusses strategies for implementation.
Changing cultures and mindsets sounds difficult, but it can be done. Whether the audience is made up of managers, recruiters, mid-level employees or your executive team, the door to dialogue will be opened. Change doesn’t have to be hard and we’ll make sure it isn’t.

Become an Employer of Choice
Is Diversity and Inclusion integrated with your talent management strategy or is D & I merely a title on an office door? There are missing pieces of the puzzle. One of those pieces is trust. Do you trust your employees to become developed enough so they can one day leave, but instead choose to stay? That’s your mandate. Create an organization that is highly sought after, where everyone feels respected, can contribute to the team and where they love coming to work.
Yes, diversity increases retention rates by up to 14% thereby reducing recruiting, on-boarding and new hire training expenses.
Yes, racially diverse companies outperform industry norms by an average of 35%.
And yes, engaged employees increase their performance by nearly 40%.
Do you want your employees to live for their work or merely live with it?
