IDEA Fundamentals

This course explores key concepts and practices related to Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Anti-Racism (IDEA) in the workplace. DiversiPro’s learning approach leverages a variety of interactive approaches, videos, reflection, practical skills and ancillary resources to enable and empower you to deepen your knowledge, broaden your understanding and develop your IDEA skillsets independently through your daily activities.

The IDEA Dashboard

The DiversiPro IDEA Dashboard™ is designed to help you effectively track, measure, and manage your organization’s inclusion, diversity, equity and anti-racism (IDEA) programs. Using DiversiPro’s Six Cylinders™ Framework, proprietary algorithm, and Statistics Canada’s workforce availability data, the DiversiPro IDEA™ Dashboard evaluates activities and progress in six key areas of your organization.

CAL Coaching

The Culturally Adaptive Leader Coaching (CAL-Coaching) program provides the process, structure and expertise to guide participants in awakening their potential to champion Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Antiracism (IDEA). Through this Program, participants discover their strengths and areas for development in navigating and bridging across differences. In addition, they develop the mindset, knowledge and skills that are critical to advancing IDEA in their organization or community.

Policy Review

Review of policies pertaining to recruitment, selection, retention, and promotion as well as any policies and practices that relate to IDEA elements including human rights and accessibility policies will be a baseline assessment vis-à-vis industry benchmarks.

Trust Index

Using the core competencies of credibility, respect, and fairness, DiversiPro has developed a Trust Index™ based on statements in its IDEA Organizational Assessment (IOA). A high-trust culture is a workplace where trust-based relationships are highly valued. The success of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives will depend on the level of trust in an organization.

Stakeholder Engagement Sessions

Our approach to data gathering, engagement and capacity building is guided by the belief that as key stakeholders, employees are best positioned to shed light on the current gaps in organizational culture and its programs and practices and identify opportunities for change.

Emergenetics

Each of us is “energized” by one or more ways of thinking. How we behave is also unique. Regardless of your thinking and behavioral attributes, you have a beautiful mind. The Emergenetics Profile reveals your brilliance – the way you prefer to think and behave.

ICI

The ICI assessment is based on a comprehensive review of the core competencies required for effective inclusive interactions. The ICI can be used to assess participants’ competencies that are associated with effective inclusive behavior. The ICI instrument contains 50 items, plus 10 demographic questions.

ICS

DiversiPro typically uses the Intercultural Conflict Style Inventory as part of a facilitative process with leaders and decision-makers, including Diversity and Inclusion champions and others engaged in the project. Based on the research by Mitchell R. Hammer, Ph.D2.

IDI

Assessing and developing intercultural competence is at the foundation of our work with leaders, teams, and Diversity and Inclusion champions/committees. We use the Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI) tool to acquire a current analysis of how leaders and staff in the organization are engaging with, or “making sense of” cultural differences.

IOA

DiversiPro’s IDEA Organizational Assessment (IOA) is a proprietary tool that measures both the diversity and the climate within an organization via three distinct sections analyzed together.

Six Cylinders™

The Six Cylinders™ Framework is a holistic and integrated framework designed to lead to organizational change and transformation for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI). Developed by DiversiPro, it is based on research and more than 20 years of experience in organizational change.

More About Our Approach

Key Principles Guiding Our Work

Solid experience

All forms of racism are systemic and therefore deeply embedded within our institutions and culture. Systemic problems require systemic solutions including time and resource commitment.

Communications expertise

The work must be informed and guided by people with lived experiences – “nothing about us, without us.”

Intersectional

The work must be intersectional – it must recognize and address the multiple forms of oppression that operate together to create compounded experiences of discrimination (e.g., racism, sexism, ableism, and transphobia).

Real Change

Systems are designed to resist change and maintain the status quo. DiversiPro uses a developmental approach to challenge and guide organizations outside their comfort zone where real change can happen.

Engagement

Moving away from token “consultations” to meaningful community engagement – a more collaborative approach that recognizes the inherent wisdom and capacity of people to create and lead their own solutions.

Accessibility

Accessibility must be embedded through inclusive design that looks at removing all barriers to meaningful participation, every step of the way.
