"A strategy for managing differences in your business, organization and workforce for improved performance, productivity and profitability."
- Teddy Pierre, President, The Pascall Company
The Strategic Business Advantage
Today's business executive is faced with an increasingly diverse environment that must be managed as part of operating a successful business. Diversity encompasses many areas including race, gender, religious and political views, sexual orientation, disabilities, and culture of employees, customers, suppliers and the community in which businesses operate. Committing to a diversity initiative is not only serious business, it is good business. By treating diversity as a business function rather than a social program, organizations develop accountability and encourage inclusion. And the business that can leverage the true power of a diverse workplace will hold a strong advantage in the marketplace.
Pascall helps clients define and strengthen their Diversity Initiatives by creating a diversity strategy that effectively communicates and achieves diversity business objectives.
Teddy Pierre, president and CEO of The Pascall Company, and a team of professional consultants assist companies and organizations by providing specific diversity services:
Recruitment of diverse senior-level and mid-level professionals, as well as industry specific personnel.
Diversity Consulting and Training for executives, managers, and supervisors.
The Pascall Company has for five years successfully worked with clients throughout the South as a recruiter of choice, and a diversity consulting partner.
Organizational Assessment & Consulting
Diversity Action Plan: To achieve meaningful, measurable, and lasting progress toward inclusion of diverse professional talent, it is necessary to work toward goals that will have a lasting impact.
Successful companies have designated a Diversity Partner to assist and consult with management to foster a climate of creativity, innovation, and inclusion.
A best practice in Diversity Initiatives includes diversity awareness and training programs conducted by an outside consultant, a trusted and valued business partner.
The Pascall Company is your Diversity Partner.
Diversity Recruitment
Pascall’s diversity recruiting and search services focus on professional, senior and mid-level management personnel, as well as industry specific professionals.
How well a company manages its recruitment, hiring, and retention programs affects its competitive edge and may be the deciding factor in its sustainability. When it comes to achieving diversity, focused recruiting programs are critical.
A best practice in diversity recruitment includes mandating that hiring managers consider a diverse selection of candidates for all open positions.
Many companies have designated a “recruiter of choice” or an Internal team dedicated to diversity recruiting that understands the organization’s commitment to a diverse professional workforce, and is held accountable for finding top-level talent from diverse backgrounds.
Training & Retention
Developing
a long-term successful diversity initiative requires more than just
creating a multi-cultural workforce. It is about helping employees
understand and respect the differences that are present in such an
environment. Diversity training, education, management and retention hold the
ultimate keys to a successful diversity program.
To
be successful, modern organizations must create cultures that transmit
inclusive values, respect, and an appreciation for human differences.
As organizations implement
personnel guidelines and grievance processes that provide for the
equitable treatment of staff, they must also create opportunities to
increase personal awareness and understanding of co-workers.
Board Recruitment
Because
the pool of qualified diversity board candidates is already stretched
thin, Pascall uses its management network to recruit qualified members
for your board. Achieving this is a measured strategic process that
requires a number of key issues be addressed.
· What does “diversity” mean for your organization?
· What barriers exist to bringing in a diverse board?
· What areas of diversity (race, ethnicity, age, sex, location, and occupation) will serve your board best?
· How do you best align your board makeup with your customer base?
· What will be the benchmarks of success?
Marketing & Branding
Integrating
your diversity initiatives into your marketing efforts requires more
than just changing the language in an ad or spending money in a
minority publication. It requires an understanding of the many
specialized groups that reside within any given minority segment. It
requires sensitivity to cultural and language issues while at the same
time holding true to the strategic business initiatives of your
organization.
Diversity marketing success
demands consistent visibility, and the ability to initiate programs
that build goodwill, familiarity and trust.
By leveraging your diversity program and
extending it with your brand, you can attract positive community
awareness, endear yourself to new customer groups, strengthen your
market position and build long-term equity for your brand.
