Belonging & Inclusion = Great Place to Work

Diversity & Inclusion Accelerator

We know that Belonging and Inclusion sit at the heart of creating a Great Place to Work which is why we are passionate about accelerating the Inclusion journey for our partners so that they too can create a culture that is B.I.G .

Our B.I.G Diversity & Inclusion Accelerator is an in-house 12-month programme where we combine consultancy expertise with our learning solutions to deliver accelerated results.

Our B.I.G Diversity & Inclusion Accelerator is bespoke to each organisation's needs and include:

Comprehensive Diversity Discovery phase to understand ‘your’ Diversity & Inclusion position

Design and delivery of a bespoke consultancy solution combined with access to our learning solutions.

Thought Leadership, facilitation, and accountability from our Diversity mentors

The work we do with our clients is not only transformation but award-winning!

We are extremely proud of our clients who partner with us as they embark upon their inclusion journey. We are even more thrilled when they go on to be recognised by industry awards for the work they have done to accelerate their inclusions ambitions.

About B.I.G

Research shows that embracing inclusivity and diversity not only ensures employees are supported and engaged, but also enables any business to stand out from their competitors. Yet, creating an inclusive culture can feel daunting particularly as it often requires the unpicking of deep-rooted traditions, a shift in mindset and behaviours, as well as a review of operational practices.

For some, closing the gap and creating an inclusive workplace culture feels like an enormous issue to address. Some leaders continue to lack clarity around what diversity and inclusion really means, and sadly there are still some who question why they need to embrace and engage with diversity and inclusivity at all. It therefore either continues to sit on the ‘too difficult’ pile, or business leaders undertake piecemeal initiatives – neither of which create impetus, and the gap fails to close.

The Belonging + Inclusion = Great Place to Work (B.I.G) Accelerator is based on the unique tribe5 Diversity & Inclusion ® Maturity Methodology. During the accelerator program you'll hear from thought-leaders, receive bespoke consultancy guidance and experience a safe learning space so that your leaders can understand the importance of diversity and inclusion. You'll gain clarity on the steps you need to take shape your organisation's inclusivity strategy and accelerate your inclusion ambitions.

" We truly believe that organisations need to take effective action now. To build inclusion into their employee and customer experiences, and to ensure that the progress that they have made to date does not reverse.

There is a growing recognition that workplace equality and wellbeing will not be achieved without actively creating a culture where employees feel safe and valued. Companies must however do more than offer empty pledges or adopt inclusion initiatives that are in fact exclusive and may be viewed as “tick box” activities. This will require dedication, focus, measurement, and accountability for real and sustainable progress to be made. The BIG Accelerator provides a clear framework enabling organisations to gain clarity on the actions they need to take so they can build back responsibly.

The time to act and accelerate inclusion is now "
