Inclusion Strategy Built for the World As It Is
Inclusion strategy cannot be built in a vacuum. Political pressure. Legal ambiguity. Economic volatility. Shifting public narratives. If you’re not factoring external forces into your inclusion strategy, you’re operating exposed.
Most DEI consultancies focus primarily on internal assessments. That approach made sense in a different environment. Today, it’s incomplete. At GVC, we give the external landscape equal weight, because that’s where both risk and opportunity live.
Inclusion Business Strategy
GVC coined the phrase Inclusion Business Strategy to reflect this reality.
Culture diagnostics and sentiment surveys measure perception — not exposure. We help you understand where you are legally vulnerable, politically exposed, or reputationally at risk — and where other organizations may be retreating, creating strategic openings.
Decisions grounded only in internal assessments or traditional DEI tactics can leave organizations exposed to risk, retreat, and missed opportunity.
Our work is grounded in PESTEL analysis — the Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, and Legal forces shaping your operating environment.
Through the GVC Risk & Opportunity Audit, we analyze the forces shaping the work while helping you sustain your inclusion commitments.
The result is not backward-looking reporting, it’s forward-looking strategy that reflects both internal values and external realities. Our approach helps leaders see around corners, not just inside walls.
Inclusion Immersion Activities
Learning and development continues to be an area where businesses are investing. GVC offers inclusion immersion activities, fireside chats, moderated discussions, executive workshops, and BRG development. In many cases these initiatives are more impactful and less polarizing than traditional DEI training. GVC offers a different approach from standardized DEI training modules, which have their place, but are typically seen as one-and-done and don’t provide opportunity for ongoing dialogue.
In our experience, finding ways to bring everyone to the table for ongoing conversation – even those that may not agree – gets you much closer to the result you want.
Recruiting Solutions
People are finding jobs very differently now. We’ve all heard the term digital, but what does it actually mean when it comes to recruiting talent? Traditional job boards and LinkedIn have their place, but when you buy a job ad or an ad on a website you may be including people that aren’t qualified for your roles. The most desirable candidates are not on LinkedIn or a job board all day, they’re online doing other things too. Wouldn’t you like to be in front of them where they spend most of their time online?
That’s where Fluency Advertising comes in. We use a reliable process that starts with research to identify the real people who match your ideal candidate profile. Then we target those candidates with individualized digital advertising that includes any website, streaming TV, streaming audio, and other places where that candidate group gets their content from.
We also believe in inclusive brands. Fluency has many years of experience with designing inclusive employment brands, finding what makes you appealing, and bringing that story to life.
