Creating Inclusive Leadership at a Fast-Growing Startup
Client: Mid-sized tech company
Challenge
Despite rapid growth, the company faced low representation of women and underrepresented groups in leadership. This led to high turnover rates and disengagement among minority employees.
Our Approach
Conducted an in-depth DEI audit to identify hiring biases and barriers to progression.
Implemented bias-free recruitment practices and created mentorship programs for women and minority employees.
Delivered executive coaching for senior leaders to foster an inclusive culture.
Results
Women in leadership roles increased by 28% over 18 months (up from 14%), a notable improvement considering that women hold only 32% of leadership roles in tech globally.
The company reduced turnover among underrepresented employees by 22%, while employee engagement among minority groups improved by 40%.
