CrossCountry Consulting’s “Mastering Inclusive Leadership” training program is an innovative initiative designed to equip our leaders with the skills and knowledge needed to foster a more inclusive and equitable workplace. Led by Iz Stenson, our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Manager, this program reinforces the firm’s commitment to advancing DEI both within our organization and throughout the consulting industry.
The program is specifically tailored to help leaders develop empathy, cultural competence, and an inclusive mindset. A key focus is on understanding unconscious biases and providing strategies to mitigate their impact on decision-making. Through interactive sessions and real-life scenarios, participants learn to recognize the multiple dimensions of diversity, such as race, gender, age, and socioeconomic background, that are essential to creating a culture of belonging.
CrossCountry is dedicated to holding itself accountable for progress in DEI. The training program includes regular monitoring and evaluation of DEI metrics, enabling the firm to track its growth and identify areas for improvement. Leaders are encouraged to set specific DEI goals aligned with business outcomes, ensuring that inclusion becomes a measurable reality at the firm, not just a concept.
This training is one of many steps CrossCountry is taking to advance its DEI agenda. By investing in this initiative, the firm is empowering its leaders and positioning itself as a forward-thinking organization that values diversity and champions inclusivity.
As the organization continues to grow, its commitment to DEI will remain a cornerstone of its business strategy. The “Mastering Inclusive Leadership” program reflects the firm’s belief that true leadership goes beyond achieving business goals; it’s about cultivating a workplace where everyone can grow and thrive. With this training, CrossCountry is setting a new standard for inclusive leadership in the industry.
By championing DEI, CrossCountry Consulting is paving the way for a more inclusive future, where diversity is celebrated, and everyone can succeed.
