What Does DEI Stand For?
DEI stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion. It’s an umbrella term that covers the actions taken by an organisation to promote the representation and participation of different groups of individuals. This includes people of different races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, abilities and disabilities, cultures, and ages.
DEI Strategy and Consultation
Fostering a culture of belonging has become a top priority for leading organisations. You want all your employees to flourish, but getting to that point takes a helluva lot of work.
Even the initial task of understanding what underrepresented individuals want and need to succeed can be the first hurdle leaders will fall flat at. Even more worrying is the fact that 68% of managers feel unprepared to have conversations about race with their employees.
DEI strategies have come a long way since the beginning of the 21st century. But many organisations have failed to keep up, try as they might. Which is why at Michael Mauro, our approach to diversity, equity and inclusion coaching is simple: help organisations turn their well-meaning aspirations into measurable and sustainable change.
As innovators in diversity and inclusion consulting, we’ll work closely with your organisation’s leadership and wider team to create a diverse, equitable workplace that will increase employee engagement and growth.
Why Is Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Important?
Diversity, equity, and inclusion aren’t just important – they’re essential. Building inclusive environments helps create a culture of belonging and increases empathy among individuals and teams.
Besides helping all your employees thrive, companies that commit to DEI are kicking ass when it comes to outpacing their competitors on a range of critical metrics.

79%
of workers will leave a company if they don’t feel valued and a sense of belonging
83%
