CONSULTING

Diafora has been engaged for several years in promoting awareness of this field of management through a broad range of service:

• Defining and implementing management strategies on diversity
• Conducting internal audits and statistical & organisational analyses (culture, structure, procedures) relevant to gender diversity
• Benchmarking & best practices
• Internal or external investigations (speaking with past and present employees of the business)
• Evaluating company politics & policy on gender diversity and making recommendations

Four Axes for Action
It takes leadership and energy to become a bilingual organisation. And requires advancing along four axes, starting right at the top:

1. Top Management: crafts and then convinces others of the business case on gender
2. All Managers: build awareness among managers about gender differences to take into account
3. Women: empower the organisation's reservoir of female talent to ensure the knowledge and skills needed to advance (see Powering the Pipeline)
4. Systems and Processes: a careful audit of a company's systemic issues to eliminate unconscious gender biases
