Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Research consistently demonstrates that diverse organisations outperform their counterparts in attracting and retaining talent, making high-quality decisions, and fostering successful innovation. However, the true value of diversity is only realised in an equitable and inclusive environment, where systems, leaders, and peers actively promote fairness and welcome all individuals.
At Barcley, we specialise in helping organisations harness the power of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to maximise performance. Through our proprietary tools, we precisely measure equality and inclusion, offering insights into diverse experiences across employee groups. Drawing on our extensive research, we inspire commitment by aligning leaders with the organisation’s unique business case for diversity.
We facilitate action at all levels, empowering individuals to contribute meaningfully and creating a workplace culture where every voice is heard and valued.
What We Do
Build the baseline and set strategy
We conduct a thorough diagnostic to assess the current state of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Using data-driven insights, we help clients establish specific, bold, and achievable DEI goals. Then, we work collaboratively to prioritise a roadmap for actionable steps toward realising these aspirations.
Develop capabilities and shift behavior
We design and lead DEI programs aimed at building capabilities at every level of the organisation. Our programs empower individuals to apply new skills and adopt inclusive behaviours, fostering a culture where diversity, equity, and inclusion thrive.
Support transformational change
We deliver multi-phase DEI programs featuring a tailored portfolio of initiatives for sustainable improvements. Our approach includes actively managing implementation and tracking progress to ensure impactful outcomes.
Equality in schools
Barcley is one of the leading national authorities on designing equity into education. The “Barcley equality index” is the gold standard in the measurement of some twenty equity indicators within primary and secondary school environments.
Barcley works with education institutions to baseline their existing levels of equity and design comprehensive improvement programs across both hard elements like systems and processes as well as softer cultural and change considerations. We support our clients to build compelling economic, social and academic cases around the justifications for change.
