Managing Diversity is a business process that extends beyond the training environment to a company's business planning and operational practices. Our approach goes beyond race and gender to recognize the full spectrum of corporate culture issues: reorganizations, mergers, technology, generational differences, sexual orientation and families. 

The global market increasingly demands that we respond to fast-paced changes. To succeed, companies must garner the discretionary effort from all of its employees that adds to the bottom line. Adherence to a series of best principles transforms diversity initiatives into profit centers. With a focus on increasing productivity, retaining valuable talent and serving diverse communities, we assist you to incorporate these principles woven throughout the most successful organizations.

The Circle of Diversity Excellence (CODE^TM) is a system of reinforcing principles and practices that supports the creation and maintenance of an environment that naturally allows all of its participants to contribute fully in support of corporate objectives. CODE^TM  maintains a 360-degree management view of activities, processes, cultural competency skills, and communication throughout the organization.

The coordinating vehicle of the CODE^TM strategy is the Center for Multicultural Excellence and includes:

• Organizational Assessments
• Change Management Strategies
• Employee Network/Affinity Groups
• Diversity Councils
• Effective Recruitment and Retention Practices
• Cross-cultural Marketing Skills
• Viable Metrics
