DEI Strategic Planning
3 MONTHS +
Dr. Paula Ioanide brings ten years of consulting, facilitation, and research experience on improving equity, diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Her goal is to help organizations recruit and retain diverse employees, maintain fair hiring practices, and eliminate biases that hinder workplace excellence, innovation, and productivity. Key to this is integrating diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives into the fabric of organizations and businesses. To do this work, Paula offers assistance with creating collaborative DEI strategic plans that help organizations and businesses identify their vision and goals and their core initiatives. Because most strategic plans fail to identify clear quantitative or qualitative measures of success, Paula brings her data and research background to create clear measurement and accountability practices as part of the strategic planning process. Without this element, strategic plans have no way of knowing what works, what progress has been made on DEI initiatives, and how to report this to their organization.
Known for her research-based, engaging and interactive style, Paula views the work of building equity, diversity and inclusion as a journey that requires awareness, compassion, and commitment. She specializing in addressing equity issues related to race, gender, sexual orientation, and nationality.
