We work with clients developing their corporate and brand strategy both internally and externally. Partnering with clients, we build EVPs (employer value propositions) that integrate corporate purpose, values, and brand positioning to create compelling employer brands… companies that inspire loyalty among key stakeholders, drive recruitment, retention and engagement, and unite team members under a shared vision for the future. And we continue to work with brands so employees stay engaged through internal communications, programs, ESG initiatives and events.
Our work with both corporations and non-profit organizations is also founded on helping them lead with purpose to promote equity and social justice + diversity and inclusion while driving long-term growth. We partner with clients to help them understand the dynamic of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in their organization and across teams and groups, and to identify specific actions they can take to drive desired progress. We develop and help execute forward-thinking diversity and inclusion strategies to boost recruitment, retention and engagement. Inclusivity and diversity strategies are complex and nuanced. Data as well as employee feedback and engagement are critical pieces of the puzzle. We work with clients to obtain important candid information and feedback from employees, build employee engagement and teamwork, and leverage their HR data and analytics to build better diversity strategies and affinity groups.
We create training programs and leadership solutions to shift mindsets, behaviors, and practices towards more equitable and inclusive leadership, increase development opportunities for employees, and build recruitment for teams and organizations. We also offer an “Inclusion in the Workplace” learning platform that assesses and raises awareness of individual and organizational practices of inclusion. Participants in the program are challenged to evaluate their environment and themselves by completing a series of assessments designed to gauge their own experiences of inclusion, and also the inclusive behavior of the leaders and groups around them. This is a fundamental shift in experiencing inclusion, as participants can try out a different perspective on inclusion in a secure and non-threatening situation.
ICG builds employee engagement programs and helps companies break down silos to foster collaborative teamwork and promote inclusion. We create bridges across global matrix organizations, business units and functional teams and build strong collegial processes and cross-cultural understanding.
ICG also partners with clients to build equity and opportunity, maximize social impact, and drive initiatives to address racial and social justice issues. We believe that equity is a North Star that should guide organizations to lead with purpose. We drive organizational growth to expand and scale programs and raise funding, elevate awareness, and drive movements to bring equity and opportunity to underserved communities and marginalized groups. We build partnerships among government, corporations, funders, and communities to scale initiatives, increase revenues, and develop forward-thinking programs and initiatives for individuals and families in need. ICG leads with visionary ideas founded on strategy resulting in strong stakeholder buy-in. We help companies and organizations effectively and transparently engage in the national dialogue regarding social and racial justice and the challenges we face as a nation. ICG inspires corporations, organizations, and individuals to use their influence and platforms to advance systemic change. We create best practices and build partnerships so that corporations, as well as organizations, can share and leverage insights from one another to collaboratively influence positive change in the world.
