To promote equitable outcomes, organizations seeking to be more inclusive  require policies which set standards and expectations for equitable and fair practices.

Equitable Solutions Consulting can help by reviewing existing policy frameworks and developing strategic and operational policies, procedures and practices which also promote accountability and equity. Policies which can promote a workplace environment is one which fosters excellence, fairness,  highest ethical standards, and well-being include:

• Disruption of racism and oppression
• Equitable recruitment and hiring
• Discrimination and harassment prevention
• Structured decision making processes
• Equitable employee wellbeing frameworks
• Complaint and conflict management
• Discipline, termination, off-boarding
• Fiscal planning
• Social responsibility and procurement
• External engagement.

 We also design custom Equity Impact Assessments to assist your organization when making decisions, implementing policies, and determining best practices for your organization prior to  implementation.  

For many organizations, simply drafting policies is insufficient to make fulfill their intended purpose.   We offer implementation and change management support and training to maximize the effectiveness of your organization's investment.

 Information drives change. Without good data to inform an equity action plan, organizational efforts to implement change will become more difficult - or may even become counter-productive. 

EQ will collect and analyze quantitative and qualitative data to determine whether there are cultural and structural barriers to equity in the workplace, identify strengths and challenges to achieving greater organizational equity, and gauge the organization's readiness to engage in equitable, anti-racist practices. 

The assessment process usually includes:

• Interviews with leadership and key people & culture partners;
• Employee engagement through surveys and interviews;
• A comprehensive review of the policies, formal processes and informal processes used by the organization in its day-to-day operations.
   

We provide practical, actionable advice throughout the assessment process whenever appropriate; in many cases, EQ consultants may be able to suggest meaningful changes in advance of delivery of formal recommendations.

 Equitable Solutions Consulting also assists organizations in creating equity action plans. EQ Consultants will work with your organization to develop a 12 to 18 month plan with assessment criteria and key performance indicators to guide the implementation of recommendations. We can also review your existing equity action plan and suggest changes or ways in which the organization can create efficiencies.
