Fractional Chief Diversity Officer 

Get Started

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) planning and implementation has become a central goal of organizations across multiple industries. However, many organizations do not have the resources or capacity to hire and properly support a full-time Chief Diversity Officer (CDO) to facilitate the complexities of DEI work. DEI work is filled with nuances, intricacies, and other unknown organizational systems that are challenging even for a skilled practitioner. 

The best employers care for and are responsive to their employees’ needs. As a business, it is easy to get frustrated and turn to HR or Legal departments to find answers for DEI efforts. But often, they can make even more of a headache for businesses because those teams are not the solution for a leading DEI organizational strategy. This is where our Fractional CDOs come to the rescue. We help develop and align inclusive strategic efforts across all departments to enhance organizational culture.

Common organizational failures facilitating DEI:

 

  • This important topic can be led internally by someone in addition to the work they are already doing (e.g., HR, Legal, Finance, etc.)
  • A CDO is hired and expected to develop the strategy with limited or no resources
