| Creating an Environment of Inclusion : Cultural assessment to reduce
litigation costs Organization:
Government Agency with 8000+ employees
Issue:
The client was facing higher litigation costs
associated with EEO claims and needed to gather
data regarding the culture of their working
environment. They planned to use this data to
develop an overall diversity and inclusion
strategy.
Approach:
We conducted interviews with upper management
and focus groups with greater than 10% of the
total work force (employees, supervisors and
managers) to determine the current climate
within the organization and to highlight any
potential areas of concern that could be
addressed to decrease the costs associated with
litigation.
Outcomes:
The cultural assessment revealed that there were
some “red flag” areas of concern and continued
training was needed in the areas of sexual
harassment, mutual respect and developing an
environment of inclusion. We assisted the
client with the development of an overall
diversity and inclusion strategy to create an
inclusive environment and subsequently reduce
litigation costs.
