Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Services

Creating diverse, equitable and inclusive work environments is never one size fits all. Artixan will partner with you on the DEI journey – by enabling the development of DEI strategies and action plans and by providing programs and processes to support implementation and sustainability. This is accomplished by assessing work underway, understanding needs and opportunities, coaching leaders, and managing any current crisis or areas of concern.

DEI Strategy Design & Implementation 

Successful DEI programs result in a sustainable and robust culture of inclusivity where the differences of all are leveraged for better productivity, innovation and profitability. Below is an overview of Artixan’s DEI Strategy & Action Planning Process. Through this approach, Artixan gains a thorough understanding of your organization’s needs and desired outcomes and collaborates with you to design customized initiatives that are developed through a collaboration between management and employees and are aligned with your goals and values. Our process is efficient and practical and one that leads to measurable and sustainable outcomes embedded in process, people and culture. 

Our DEI experts help clients move from a plan to action. By leveraging a broad and deep set of experiences, current knowledge of best practices, and an orientation toward action, we can help your team move forward and achieve results for priority DEI programs and projects.

DEI Coaching  

Artixan pairs a DEI coach with a leader one-on-one or with a team to help them successfully navigate managing a diverse workforce, successfully weave inclusivity into day-to-day interactions, and mitigate subtle and implicit bias -- ensuring employees feel heard, supported and comfortable – which leads to greater levels of profitability, productivity and innovation. 

DEI Crisis Management 

With today’s social media and self-publishing platforms, everyone can have a national or even global voice in moments.  Artixan provides advice on being proactive in diversity crisis readiness, and if DEI-related incidents occur, can assist with internal and external reputation management and crisis communications.
