Who We Are

ids is passionate about transforming communities and organizations toward equitable and just practices that harness the power of diversity and inclusivity.  

 

We help organizations move beyond “check-the-box” diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives to make a meaningful and sustainable change.

 

Whether you're looking to improve recruiting and retention, inspire and energize your team, or foster a culture of innovation, our holistic approach is customized to meet the unique needs of your organization.

We use trusted practices, innovative techniques, and emerging knowledge to deliver exceptional consultancies.  

We engage with you wherever you are on your journey. Partner with us to build out your whole journey towards a more inclusive workplace, or work with us on targeted programs.

We are on a mission to set a new tone to the world, and to create a more inclusive reality for generations to come by helping organizations create the type of workplace/community where people no longer feel pressure to downplay aspects of their identity in order to survive; instead, they begin to feel free to bring their full selves to work and motivated to contribute in a way that fuels bottom-line growth.
