The pandemic is far from over, and its echoes will touch our lives for many years to come. The COVID-19 pandemic has shed a spotlight on inequities – with women being impacted the most.

Research shows, just 31% of organizations are effective in their DEI initiatives. But a window is beginning to open to a new world that lies on the other side. The diversity and inclusion trends for 2021 are:

• An evolving remote workforce
• Enabling diverse gender identity and gender expression
• Multi-generational workforce
• Gearing up for systemic change
• Diversity, equity, and inclusion
• Increased transparency in goals
• Looking beyond tokenism

2021 is the year organizations are taking up Diversity with a systemic focus, with a desire to shift the efforts. Here is how we are supporting the Diversity efforts to include Women.

• Designing and Facilitating a Diversity Audit
• Visioning the Diversity Journey
• DEI Council
• Learning Journey – Planning, Developing, Formulating & Roll Out
• Cultural Readiness for DEI

This is a unique opportunity to examine the approach towards DEI and who to become in this new normal.
