Diverse Warsaw
A year-long venture of facilitative and participatory project management and multilateral negotiations between various stakeholders that resulted in the comprehensive strategic diversity management plan for the City of Warsaw. Over 150 persons representing the people of Warsaw, NGOs, research institutions, opinion centers, and council members were engaged in the process.
This facilitative project management model was later used in the process of drafting the “Model for Equal Treatment” for the City of Gdańsk, putting together the action plan for the City of Poznań, and crafting the follow-up policy of equal treatment in the City of Warsaw.
We are currently leading an EOG-funded project for mainstreaming human rights into the municipal policies of members of the Association of Polish Cities.
Architects for change and Workplace Diversity Ambassadors
This year-long project for a large company with over 10K employees included a series of DE&I awareness and competence trainings, business analyses and consulting, and the development of an action plan for the company’s DE&I strategic team.
Building good employee relations
This is our flagship project, which has been successfully implemented in various organizations, ranging from software and information technology corporations, to telecommunication companies, to embassies.
We tailor recommendations of optimal processes of inclusive employee experience. The goal is a working policy on employee relations based on the needs of companies’ employees and the diverse communities they serve.
Preventing negative behaviors program
Even during the pandemic, we are engaged in multiple projects to measure, identify, and prevent the reoccurrence of negative acts. We conduct preliminary investigations and work with employees experiencing and exhibiting such behaviors, as well as entire teams.
For instance, we designed and supported implementation of a complex improvement program for a prominent company. Such a program is often needed in situations when group complaints about mobbing lead to escalation of conflict that impedes proper functioning of the organization. The process of implementing the program was challenging and took several months, but today the company functions harmoniously, and the results of our regular verification checks of employee relations show no signs of reoccurrence.
Diversity Management Education
Educating future managers is crucial for the dissemination and advancement of diversity and inclusion policies. For that reason, we have for years been teaching courses on diversity management in postgraduate programs including, among others, at Kozminski University and Collegium Civitas.
Diagnosing negative behaviors
Our diagnostic process is unique. It is based on the latest scientific research. It combines empirically-validated universal indicators with those designed specifically for a given company or organization. Our diagnostic tools include modules allowing for both inter- and intraorganizational benchmarking.
The process of setting the scope of diagnosis and constructing the specific indicators is cooperative, thus allowing for adjustment to unique organizational circumstances. Analysis of these indicators therefore allows for formulating individualized recommendations for the client.
