DEI Consulting
Many DEI consultants prioritize dismantling white supremacy over data and facts. At FIG, our philosophy is distinct and assertive: we believe business performance must take the forefront and not be overshadowed by an excessive focus on race or gender. Our strategies are meticulously crafted to position diversity as a competitive advantage. We go beyond mere virtue signaling and performative actions. Our commitment is to align diversity and inclusion efforts directly with your company’s core promise, driving tangible enhancements to your bottom line. This is how corporate social responsibility begins. Our approach ensures that your DEI initiatives are socially and financially responsible, strategically savvy, and business-forward.

How We Can Help
Outdated diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) strategies are no longer enough to give your business the competitive advantage it needs to thrive.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, embedding it 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.

Following the audit, we will work with you to create a measurable and actionable plan for your organization.
