Consulting Case Study
Let NDC Strategic Solutions help you take your organization to the next level.
Client
A health sciences manufacturer headquartered in Midwestern U.S.
Client Requirement
The organization desired to attract a diverse workforce, establish an inclusive culture, positively impact their local community, and be a leader in their industry. The CEO launched a listening tour following the death of George Floyd. Following his conversations with employees, he decided to go beyond the listening tour and work with the National Diversity Council to develop a long term, sustainable DEI strategy.
NDC Approach
NDC conducted in-depth discovery conversations with the company’s top leadership and the head of HR. As a result, we agreed that a key deliverable would be for NDC to help develop a sustainable DEI strategy and action plan. In order to do this, we collected quantitative and qualitative data. In particular, we looked at specific quantitative variables such as hires, terminations, pay equity, performance reviews, promotions, and awards. We also conducted a cultural assessment that included demographically based focus groups, leader interviews, and an online survey. When data was collected, we facilitated a feedback session with the organization. We helped the organization identify DEI goals that were also aligned with their operational goals plus establish DEI strategies and priorities.
Outcome
The organization realized that, among other things, some of their internal processes that touched people should be more equitable. It appointed an internal DEI leader and formed an internal DEI advisory committee. It has begun work on 5 strategic areas including leadership DEI competencies, talent acquisition, and training. We will conduct another assessment later to determine the organization’s overall progress compared to their initial baseline data.
