Organizations are seeking performance through equity inclusion, diversity and belonging. They’re often challenged by exclusion, privilege, inauthenticity, virtue signaling, cancel culture, wokeness, microaggressions & triggers. Big Tent can drive success through brave and authentic process.
People Centered. Whole Hearted.
Being seen and heard is critical. People want multiple opportunities to succeed and grow -- to not only be invited to the party, but also asked to dance. DEI is people work that relies on building new relationships and deepening trust. It is rigorous and demanding. Big Tent's approach requires prioritizing the human side of work and reimagining "how things get done around here.
Holistic & Sustainable.
Transformation requires not only an emphasis on doing, but being. How are we with one another? How do we create systems and structures to help us see and value one other? Results matter. So does morale and culture. We focus on all your singular magnificent details while also creating the architecture of enterprise-level solutions.
Communicating Change.
Change requires building new muscles, tolerating discomfort, navigating ambiguity, and unlearning outdated beliefs. From assessment to training, coaching to employee experiences, a distinguisher of our approach is how we work with leaders.
We provide the tools, language and structure to communicate with teams, set a tone, and sustain a challenging dialogue. Words create worlds.
Building Trust and Inclusion in a Distributed Work Environment
With evolving and expanding new work arrangements come beliefs, judgments, and invisible bias about performance, productivity, and presence. All work systems are impacted including hiring, performance review, supervision, feedback, collaboration and building trust. Let Big Tent help you harness the power of inclusion in exclusively online and distributed workspaces.
