WHY CHOOSE NCCJ DEI CONSULTING
The Process
Our process is collaborative, with facilitators and participants working together toward awareness and action. Using this framework, our workshops consist of four components.
- Content Names historical context, grounds in theory, and establishes a mutual understanding of how systems of oppression function.
- Experience provides opportunities to engage with one another and find common ground in shared understanding.
- Opportunities to learn and practice skills useful for interrupting their own biases as well as injustices they may encounter from others.
- Application Concrete actions leaders can take in their professional lives to help develop more inclusivity.
HOW WE WORK
Customized Strategy
DEI Consulting programs explore the intersectionality of 9 areas of social identity: ability, age, body size, class, gender, race, religion, sex, and sexual orientation. Learning focuses on the intergenerational impacts of oppression and developing skills to talk effectively and compassionately about identity.
Cultivating real-life skills helps to interrupt all forms of bias and discrimination. Understanding and assimilating shared language: definitions, terms, and current vocabulary empower participants of diverse experiences to identify ways to cultivate action and build equity in the workplace and community.
WHY IT MATTERS
Results
Our formula is simple: DEI initiatives increase employee retention, engagement, and job satisfaction. Your greatest asset isn’t some intangible or prospective new hire. Together with NCCJ, DEI engagements help you go beyond Human Resource metrics to support building truly inclusive work environments that drive innovation, and recruitment and provide a competitive advantage.
WHAT MAKES OUR WORK UNIQUE
Experience
Our work is grounded in social justice theory and designed utilizing NCCJ’s years of programming experience and our work understanding and addressing all forms of oppression. We believe in radical healing and human transformation. Simply put, we meet people where they are and engage them in conversation not confrontation. For NCCJ President and CEO, Monique Lorenzo, “social justice is standing in the face of oppression, standing with marginalized communities, leading change, and social transformation one person at a time. We understand that life is complex, humaning is hard and it’s our mission to create safe spaces to ‘help humans human better,’ together.”
