After raising $175MM, our client experienced high-growth at an extremely fast rate. Talent acquisition, retention, and DEI programming were the company’s top priorities, but they lacked clarity, structure, and employee feedback to make strategic decisions.
According to the company’s Chief of Staff and Head of People, here were their biggest challenges:
Perfeqta was brought in to embed DEI into the client’s talent management programs and processes. Our team provided training, coaching, advising, roadmapping, and thought partnership to evolve the company’s DEI Maturity.
We helped build and execute an end-to-end DEI plan, which included an inclusive recruitment strategy, employee resource group (ERG) launch plan, advising, training sessions, and career and executive coaching to more than one-third of employees.
Here’s a list of deliverables we provided during our engagement:
This client wasn’t ready to hire a full-time DEI team, so Perfeqta provided a DEI governance structure. This included the creation of a DEI Steering Council, a DEI Committee, and Employee Resource Groups.
Throughout the engagement, we advised each of these groups on strategic alignment, accountability, tracking progress, and making improvements.
Here are the key results for our partnership:
Improved employee performance
Our engagement with the client resulted in more clarity, trust, and organization in the company’s DEI vision. Not only were employees more confident in the company’s DEI stance, but they were more confident in their future at the company. This nurtured a sense of belonging in employees from executive leaders.
Built equitable policies and systems
Perfeqta helped the client move toward its ideal DEI state by identifying and addressing systemic barriers in the organization. This resulted in a more inclusive recruitment plan, clear workplace policies that minimized discriminatory behaviors, and a refined open-door communication policy for receiving employee feedback.
Helped recruit, retain, and advance top talent
We embedded DEI into the client’s talent processes, such as recruitment, onboarding, and employee experience initiatives. This resulted in a more diverse candidate pool, higher employee retention, and greater employee engagement.
