DIVERSITY CONSULTING

Diversity consulting is one of the primary strengths of Kaufman, VonStuben and Associates.  We have delivered content at conferences worldwide and consulted to some of the world’s leading companies in the area of general corporate diversity and diversity recruitment and staffing. The focus of our efforts is to develop and execute diversity strategies which can have a positive impact on the company’s customers, shareholders, communities in which they operate and employees.  Our extensive approach to diversity is unlike most firms in that we do not simply provide diversity training.  Rather, we focus on a 5 – step process (current state analysis, establish an understanding of your desired productivity levels and corporate culture, draft a strategy and implementation plan to bridge the gap, to include internal and external communications, and define a battery of quantifiable measurements to capture your diversity return on investment.  We've combined our ability to conduct cultural audits and design diversity inclusion and awareness initiatives that are aligned with strategic marketplace goals.  

During the strategic plan development and implementation phase we evaluate your success and provide advice, counsel and training in 9 research-based diversity best practice areas:

1.       Attracting, motivating and retaining diverse talent

2.       Leadership Commitment and Involvement 

3.       Marketing to Diverse Customers and Consumers            

4.       Inclusive Culture and Values

5.       Diversity Education and Training

6.       Community Involvement

7.       Advancing Diverse Talent

8.       Career Development for Diverse Talent

9.       Supplier Diversity  

As human capital business partners we continually focus on desired returns on the human capital investment.  This is also common within our diversity offering.  We have established a battery of measurements that will clearly show the Diversity Return on Investment (DROI).  Generally speaking, the diversity return on investment (DROI) is calculated by using the diversity initiative cost and benefits to get the benefit/cost ratio (BCR).  We have developed a battery of metrics to support the DROI and when combined will help you clearly articulate the return to shareholders and senior leaders, as well as act as the basis for improvements. 

Most diversity consultants and corporations struggle when attempting to implement diversity initiatives due to communication problems.  As a result of our strategic alliance with one of the nation’s best diversity communication firms we have mastered the art of internal and external diversity communications, branding and marketing.  

We work with your staff from concept to completion to develop, implement and monitor your diversity initiatives related to diversity processes and long-term strategic plans, to include internal affinity group development, external affinity group relationship management, diversity awareness and skill building training, employment branding, acquisition and retention strategies. 

We welcome the opportunity to partner with you to increase productivity while enjoying a successful journey down the corporate continuum from compliance to the diversity inclusion and appreciation.
