03) Women in Leadership

We offer comprehensive women in leadership training programs designed to equip women with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in leadership positions. We cover a range of topics such as communication, networking, conflict resolution, negotiation, and career advancement. Moreover, gender bias is a pervasive problem that can significantly impact women’s career progression. This program not only helps to understand the role gender bias plays in women’s career progression but also aids women to identify their individual approaches and techniques to tackle gender bias in their professional life. Overall, the aim of the women in leadership program is to empower women to overcome obstacles and excel in leadership roles, as well as to create a supportive community of women leaders who can network beyond the program and share insights and experiences with each other.

You will gain evidence-based and cutting-edge knowledge and skills in order to integrate DE&I principles into your organization’s processes and strategies throughout the employee-life-cycle. You will learn how to develop a DE&I strategy with key metrics to measure its effectiveness.

a. Unconscious bias awareness

We aim to raise awareness of the mental shortcuts that lead to snap judgments about people’s talents of character. Raising bias awareness is the first step toward DE&I. But we don’t stay to awareness since conventional awareness does not necessarily lead to behavior change. We go one step further in our highly interactive training and provide people with tools, practices and strategies combined with practice workplace scenarios to manage their biases, change their behavior, and track their progress. We provide information that contradicts stereotypes and allows people to connect with others whose experiences are different from theirs.

b. DE&I training for recruitment and selection

You will learn how to implement a diversity recruitment and selection program in your organization and attract top talent by reducing bias in your recruitment and hiring processes. You will learn a number of unconscious biases that may appear during the interviewing and selection process together with a number of strategies to overcome them.

c. DE&I training for inclusive performance and management

You will learn how to unbias and implement a diversity, equity and inclusion performance management and career progression program in your organization. You will learn a number of unconscious biases that may appear during the performance, review, and promotions processes together with a number of strategies to overcome them creating workplaces where people feel respected, acknowledged, and understood for their uniqueness.

d. DE&I training for DE&I leaders

As academics and researchers, we provide cutting-edge knowledge and evidence-based skills to professionals in DE&I-specific roles and functions in organizations. As DE&I leadership demands high-level skills in change management we provide DE&I leaders with the strategies, processes, and tactics they need to effectively lead lasting and impactful DE&I change.

e. DE&I training for mentors and coaches

All employees stand to gain a lot from mentoring and coaching, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds. We help you not only to build a mentorship and coaching program for DE&I but also to teach you evidence-based skills and practices to avoid unconscious biases during your mentoring and coaching endeavors.

f. Algorithmic bias in HR

Artificial intelligence in HR and people management has gained considerable attention in recent years. AI tools are created for almost every stage of the HR lifecycle. At the same time, however, AI in HR has raised a number of concerns, especially regarding biases against underrepresented and vulnerable groups and individuals. We help you therefore to lead an ethical digital transformation in your organization by raising your knowledge regarding possible biases of AI in HR and ways to overcome them.

g. DE&I in remote and hybrid work

The recent expansion of remote and hybrid work is posing new challenges to DE&I. Organizations need to develop innovative best practice measures and frameworks to ensure that hybrid and remote work is inclusive and that it does not have a negative impact on already disadvantaged individuals. We help people managers, leaders, HR professionals and trainers to develop a number of competencies and skills and we provide them with relevant toolkits, metrics, and change management advice for the development of inclusive hybrid and remote workplaces.

h. Becoming an empowered ally

We view allyship as a strategic mechanism used by individuals who fight injustice and promote equity in the workplace through supportive personal relationships and public acts of sponsorship and advocacy. We help everyone in the organization to develop powerful skills and evidence-based best practices in order to drive systemic improvements to workplace policies, practices, and culture through allyship.

h. Negotiation for Women: for leadership and career advancement

Research shows that women aren’t ‘worse’ at negotiating, but they can face negative stereotypes when doing so. Gender bias can have a negative impact on negotiation outcomes, particularly for women who may face additional challenges in negotiating for themselves due to societal expectations and biases. Through training, individuals can become more aware of their own biases and learn strategies for identifying and countering gender-based biases that may arise in negotiation situations. This interactive workshop, which is for women at any stage of their career, will provide participants with the opportunity to practice negotiation techniques and identify their own negotiation approach.
