Inclusion isn’t just about karma.
It’s also about competitive advantage.

Conscious Inclusion Company operated from 2019 through December 2024. This site preserves the people, ideas and resources behind that work; its program descriptions reflect that period. Our work focused on equity through inclusion, helping organizations examine structural barriers, institutional bias and the conditions that shape employee experience.

 Many DEI efforts are well-meaning but ineffective.
Do any of these sound familiar?

Check-the-Box
One-off training sessions fail to sustain meaningful change.

One-Size-Fits-All
A generic approach that fails to adapt to your unique culture.

Lack of Authority
Without investment from the C-suite, DEI efforts fail to take root.

Lack of Strategy
Without a plan and metrics, DEI efforts fail to show progress – or ROI.

 

We ensure your organization remains transparent with data and builds accountability from the top down.

We deliver programs that build capital, sponsorships, and mentoring for misrepresented groups. We work with you to establish new work norms, challenge existing work norms, and reframe how work gets done.

How It Works

  • Quantitative Analyses

    Using AI/NLP combined with behavioral metrics and demographic data, we measure inclusion by scoring communications, ensuring objective metrics on sentiment, centrality, and collaboration among teams.

  • Qualitative Analyses

    We facilitate surveys, listening sessions, content analyses, interviews, and other valid and reliable qualitative methods to gather trustworthy intel on what’s working and what’s not in your organization’s corporate culture.

  • Behavioral Changes

    With a goal of sustainable change, we focus on strategies at the 4P-level: policies, practices, pay, and pipeline. We ensure your organization enjoys meaningful and sustainable change, where employees are heard.
