Diversity and inclusion efforts have proliferated, with many organizations and individuals offering services. Organizations that focus on ending intimate partner and sexual violence have adopted anti-racism or anti-oppression goals. Colleges and Universities are attempting to tackle the same ‘isms while simultaneously addressing sexual violence. Many of these diversity and inclusion efforts, and anti-oppression goals, are set without the expert knowledge on how to be intersectional. Addressing the intersecting needs for the differing identities of your beneficiaries, staff and clients while staying mission and vision focused is difficult.
What makes Ending Payne Consulting Services LLC the right choice for you is that we take a holistic, intersectional approach to diversity, equity, and social inclusion. We recognize that movement toward inclusion is rife with conflict and we minimize that impact with our skills and experience in change management. We support organizational wide development and implementation of strategies. In addition, we support individuals, departments and initiatives within your organization and community.
You can not separate individuals from their multiple identities; therefore, your organization should not try to create policies and practices that deal with these identities separately. The one off training on unconscious bias, forming a D&I working group (and one for LTBTQI+, and women, and...) leaves organizations vulnerable to being reactionary and not creating the inclusive environment they aim to achieve. We work with and through those in the community that have the expertise you are looking for.
Nonprofit success - nonprofits, especially sexual and intimate-partner violence organizations, struggle with the business of running their nonprofit while maintaining their commitment to social change. We focus on bridging the gap between nonprofits' philanthropic cause, the enterprising nature of the for-profit world and how to do that while addressing racism and oppression internally and externally.
Our process will empower you and your team, providing you with the tools needed for success. Talk to us today about how we can support your growth, limit turnover, and put you on track to creating a diverse, inclusive organization poised for success and profit.
