DEI Consulting
Outdated diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) strategies are no longer enough to give your business the competitive advantage it needs to thrive. Organizations now have to take societal and technological changes into consideration as well. This means DEI must be embedded into your organization, from hiring practices to diverse spending to communications and marketing. And we’re not just referring to diversity, equity and inclusion training, we mean making behavioral changes and seeking different perspectives as they relate to DEI. FIG examines each aspect of your business, from operations to external partnerships, to identify gaps and uses data & analytics to create effective strategies to address each business challenge.
