The impart-INCLUSION approach
Eliminating Barriers and Expanding Opportunities Together
Impart-INCLUSION is a set of solutions that assist leaders and their teams to develop a sustainable program to:
- Eliminate barriers and expand opportunities for current and prospective team members, of all backgrounds and situations, in pursuing their vocational goals and contributing to well-informed decision making.
- Drive improvements in diversity and inclusion (D&I) by fine-tuning the current operating structures of governance, consultation, feedback mechanisms and assurance.
- Place internal and external stakeholders at the centre of decision making on matters that affect them.
The focus of the Impart-INCLUSION program is to empower your leadership and workforce to join forces and tangibly improve workplace equity.

How to Impart-INCLUSION
Improving the D&I of an organisation is actually a multi-facetted investment in organisation-wide systemic and cultural change. Impart-INCLUSION uses well-established evidence-based change methodologies, so as to maximise the commercial and communal returns on this investment by:
- Identifying the unique barriers and possibilities that face an organisation and their corresponding best responses and solutions.
- Framing a clear, shared mission and strategy that all leaders can confidently convey and promote to their teams.
- Harnessing the cultural power of storytelling, endowing leaders and other equity champions with narratives of personal resonance
- Sharing insights as to why inclusion is an organisational imperative.
- Providing cultural context by explaining the journey so far and next milestones.
- Equipping leaders and managers with engagement styles that are respectful and sensitive to the many backgrounds of their team members.
- Inclusively seeking input, feedback and initiative from all team members.
- Ensuring managers, supervisors and team members jointly understand desired behaviours and the best response to undesirable behaviour.
- Assess physical and virtual spaces, identifying potential barriers to accessibility and inclusion and eliminating or mitigating them.
- Administratively support this work through sound procedural and communication solutions that promote and reinforce the mission.
