DEI: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
We are committed to helping your organisation not only to value diversity but to thrive on it
At Aleron, we value diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Over the years, we've collaborated with various sectors, from higher education to motorsport and medical research. Our focus has also extended to creating an inclusive digital space and developing AI products with an emphasis on trust.
We put data at the centre of our work, from the initial analysis of the current state to the definition of measurable goals and monitoring progress over time. We use advanced analytics to understand how mindsets, behaviours and actions are shifting over time and contribute to a more inclusive environment and culture.
We believe that the design of DEI interventions should be informed by the needs and the voices of those who are most marginalised; our teams bring expertise in user-centred design, co-production and multi-stakeholder engagement.
System Change
Sustainable change happens in an ecosystem of aligned leaders and strong governance. We help you to identify the root causes and interrelationships of systemic problems to drive outcomes and impact within your organisation and/or our society.
Collaboration
We work closely with you, understanding your unique needs and perspectives, to collaboratively frame your DEI aspirations. Together, we strategise to secure leadership commitment, ensure staff buy-in and diligently embed the necessary processes, capabilities and tools to efficiently and effectively realise your overarching organisational goals.
On the ground experience
Drawing from our deep expertise, we genuinely understand what it takes to deliver meaningful, sustainable change at scale. Our work is continually informed by our track record in advancing DEI matters, alongside the collective experience of our practitioners, partners, and technical advisors.
