Association Headquarters
The Almond Group served Association Headquarters, an association management company based in New Jersey, to facilitate a nine-month DEI strategic planning and DEI training experience. With a staff of nearly 200, TAG worked intimately with the company to satisfy the following objectives:
Develop a three-year DEI Action Plan to include goals, key performance indicators, and strategies for implementation to track and measure DEI performance over time
Facilitate DEI learning sessions for the leadership team, DEI Advisory Council, managers, and all staff to improve cultural competency and provide a shared understanding of DEI concepts and behaviors
Our work resulted in the following outcomes:
The creation of a three-year DEI Action Plan, that includes the voices of all staff, managed by the leadership team and a staff-led DEI Advisory Council
A significant increase in DEI competency among staff. Pre- and post-survey data reveal the following:
A near twenty percentage-point (19.1%) increase in staff’s confidence in explaining how DEI is important in their day-to-day work
A 38.5 percentage-point increase in staff’s confidence in their ability to define key DEI concepts and terminology
The vast majority of staff (93.2%) agreeing or strongly agreeing that the organization is committed to DEI
The vast majority of staff (94.5%) agreeing or strongly agreeing that they are personally committed to DEI
