In today's fast-paced and ever-changing business landscape, it's more important than ever for organizations to prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). A company's culture is shaped by its employees, and fostering an inclusive environment where every individual can thrive is crucial for success. At Paradigm, the team understands the importance of creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to do their best work. Their comprehensive suite of technology, tools, and consulting services is designed to help organizations achieve this goal.
Paradigm's DEI Training programs are designed to equip employees with the skills they need to effectively hire and manage people from all backgrounds, collaborate with colleagues from diverse perspectives, and contribute to a culture where everyone can meet their potential. Its online, live, and blended learning programs address a range of topics, including unconscious bias, inclusive leadership, allyship, and more. The company also offers tools that translate learning into action.
To build a future-ready company, organizations need an effective strategy for attracting the best people from all backgrounds and creating cultures where people can collaborate effectively. Paradigm’s DEI strategy and analytics solutions help organizations benchmark their DEI maturity, use data-driven insights to make better decisions, and equip leaders with the guidance they need to take action.
At Paradigm, the team understands that a company's DEI is shaped by both its employees and its processes and policies. Its comprehensive suite of solutions helps organizations address both aspects. The company offers DEI consulting and live training services that empower employees to incorporate inclusion into their everyday work.
DEI Consulting and Live Training experts design DEI training programs that move the needle. Paradigm partners with clients to create impactful learning journeys, facilitate live workshops, and equip internal teams to lead discussions on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Paradigm helps organizations meet the needs of different stakeholders by designing training programs that launch effectively, communicate with learners at key moments, deliver resources that translate learning to action, and measure impact.
Paradigm’s expert-led workshops cover a range of topics, including:
Managing Unconscious Bias: This training helps employees understand how unconscious bias undermines effective decision-making, inclusive team dynamics, and career growth.
Inclusive Leadership: This training helps leaders build and lead teams where people from all backgrounds can do their best work and thrive.
Allyship: This training gives employees a shared definition of allyship, an understanding of how allyship creates a more inclusive culture for everyone.
Paradigm also facilitates action-oriented discussions on advanced topics such as inclusive hiring, inclusive performance management, growth mindset, belonging, anti-racism, microaggressions, championing DEI for HR professionals, understanding the employee experience and taking action, inclusion surveys, and focus groups.
Paradigm’s Inclusion Survey uncovers how employees feel about the key themes that impact inclusion – belonging, fairness, psychological safety, commitment to diversity, and more. Their experts analyze the data to identify barriers to inclusion across different demographics and provide recommendations on how to address those barriers.
For richer context around survey results or a deeper understanding of the experience of employees from different demographic groups, Paradigm’s DEI experts facilitate structured conversations with employees and translate what they hear into useful insights and recommendations.
Paradigm has reimagined sexual harassment prevention training with inclusion at its core. Its online harassment training is designed to foster cultures where harassment is not tolerated and empower people who witness or experience harassment to take action.
