Why Inclusivity
Building stronger, more inclusive organizations
Set your workplace up for success by bringing us on to drive real change. We help organizations like yours make meaningful progress towards a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive work environment.
About Inclusivity
Inclusivity was founded in June 2016 and has grown to become the country’s leading provider for practical, data-informed solutions for equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI). We are BIPOC owned with majority women in leadership positions and bring to our work a diversity of lived experiences and interdisciplinary expertise.
We have partnered with hundreds of organizations across North America to build stronger, more inclusive teams. Through our comprehensive suite of consulting services, interactive training programs and data analytics we help teams, at any stage of their EDI journey. We drive sustainable change, whether that’s the systems and processes that shape how we work or the behaviours of the employees and leaders who bring the culture to life. Our goal is to set organizations up for success and support with expertise as needed.
Our approach
We use data to assess where you’re at and draw on our deep industry experience to guide you to where you’d like to be. No matter where in the journey towards equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) your organization is, we provide solutions that are…
Practical
We identify tangible steps you can take to achieve your goals for fostering EDI in your workplace. We do this by using a global EDI benchmark and our own EDI Cultural Change Curve© framework.
Systematic
We’re not here to call you out for what you should have done way back when. Our work with you starts from where you’re at right now, and how we can move you forward to where you need to be.
Tailored
Every organization has a unique culture and is at a different point in their journey. That’s why we tailor our solutions to meet your specific needs and goals.
Data-Driven
Our work is backed by research. We collect and analyze data so that we can identify barriers, design informed solutions, and measure impact.
Our Story
A foundation based on lived experience
Inclusivity was founded by industry-leading spokesperson, Wyle Baoween.
Originally from Yemen, Wyle is an engineer with more than 15 years of experience in consulting and project management, with a focus on data analytics, process improvement, and change management.
Inclusivity stemmed from Wyle’s observation that leaders of large organizations often know that a change is needed to make sure all employees have equal access to opportunities. However, many are at a loss for where to start. Wyle channeled his powerful personal experiences along with his training in data science into developing methods for identifying and eliminating barriers to equitable, diverse, and inclusive workplaces.
Inclusivity has grown into one of the country’s leading providers for equity, diversity, and inclusion services and is ready to serve even more organizations with an increasing range of offerings tailored to specific needs.
