Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement

At Social Strategies, we are deeply committed to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) both within our organization and in our work with clients. As a consulting and training company, we recognize the unique role we play in influencing and educating other organizations and are dedicated to embodying the principles of DEI in all aspects of our work.

Diversity: We embrace and celebrate diversity in its broadest sense, including race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, socio-economic status, physical abilities, religious beliefs, and other ideologies. We understand that a diverse team enriches our consulting and training services, bringing varied perspectives and experiences that are crucial in addressing the complex challenges in the social services sector.

Equity: Our commitment to equity is reflected in our efforts to create fair access to opportunities and resources for both our employees and the organizations we serve. We strive to understand and address systemic inequities and work towards solutions that elevate those who have been marginalized or underserved.

Inclusion: We are committed to building an inclusive culture where every individual feels valued and empowered. This extends to our client engagements, where we advocate for inclusive practices and help organizations create environments where diverse voices are heard and respected.

In our pursuit of these goals, we are committed to:

Educating and Empowering: Offering training and consulting services that are inclusive from the ground up. We aim to empower other organizations to understand and implement DEI sensitive skills and strategies.

Inclusive Service Design: Ensuring our services are designed and delivered in a manner that is accessible and inclusive, respecting the diverse needs of the communities and organizations we serve.

Continuous Learning and Adaptation: Regularly reviewing and updating our own practices to stay at the forefront of DEI in the social services sector, and adapting our strategies to meet the evolving needs of our clients and their communities.

Collaborative Engagement: We are constantly working with our peers from diverse backgrounds and actively seek feedback from our clients and their communities to ensure our services are culturally sensitive and responsive to the needs of diverse populations.

At Social Strategies, we believe that our commitment to DEI is not only fundamental to our success but also to the betterment of the social services sector as a whole. We pledge to be an active participant in creating a more equitable and inclusive world, starting with our team and extending to the organizations and communities we serve.
