Workshops & seminars

We provide a DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) training programme geared toward managers, HR professionals, business owners, facilitators, supervisors and executives. The aim is to help you make your organisation a more engaging workplace that fosters diversity.

Business case

The business case

Companies who hire and successfully integrate newcomers into their workforce reap the benefits of high retention rates, better management skills and a wider potential labour pool. It makes business sense.

Higher retention rates

Newcomers tend to stay with the same employer than with any other hires.

Recruitment benefit

Employers’ efforts to create an inclusive and welcoming workforce for all results in many newcomers reaching out to members of their community who might want to work for that company as well.

Better management skills

Employers are not only happy with the newcomers they've hired, they've often learned from the experience and become better managers of a diverse workforce.

Specialised industry knowledge

Our candidates bring first hand knowledge of international markets and a global outlook to teams, allowing employers to better serve the societies in which they operate.
