November Group Consulting provides our clients with years of diversity and organizational experience to assist them in moving their diversity process forward. Some of the more commonly requested services include:
- Services for Businesses
- Services for Educational Institutions
- Services for Non-Profit and Governmental Organizations
For Businesses
Global and Societal Cultural Understanding:
The world is becoming smaller and smaller. In our business society, it is important to engage a successful business in a global environment. Often, companies that conduct business internationally must face the challenges of communicating across geographical borders and social differences. Our mission is to help strengthen those bridges of interpersonal relationships and cross-cultural collaboration. Our training sessions will personalize your client experience to one sensitive to differences beyond language.
Cultural Understanding Training for the Workplace:
Many other "diversity consultants" use the word "sensitivity" training but we at November Group believe that in order to truly embrace a collaborative work environment, you have to do more than just be “sensitive” not to say the wrong thing. It becomes about education and understanding the differences that make the work environment such a melting pot. We work to implement immediate steps and long-term strategies to change the culture of the work environment.
Strategic Planning:
The November Group will help you put into play the diversity related initiatives that we will conceptualize according to your organization's specific challenges. Our use of both qualitative and quantitative research can also help you have a clearer understanding of why diversity works, and how it affects your bottom line. Our plan of action will serve as your blueprint to creating greater cultural understanding, better productivity, and a new vision for things to come.
For Educational Institutions
Our main area of expertise, The November Group has over a decade of experience working with higher learning institutions to help them develop strategic, personalized recruitment and retention strategies for students of underrepresented populations.
Targeted Recruitment Strategies:
The November Group has a full understanding of the admissions cycle and special targeted needs that require being in place in order to address long-term solutions in underrepresented student recruitment. We will help you implement a plan that can serve as a model for future recruitment strategies.
Retention Strategies:
The goal is not to get them through the door. The goal is to get them through the door and see them walk across that stage to receive that diploma. In aspects of recruiting a diverse population, one must also address the continuous challenges that higher education institutions face in the area of retention. We develop a plan with the institution to address visible problems in areas of retention and work along together to see the strategy all the way through.
For Non-Profit and Governmental Organizations
Similar to our strategy for our business clients, it is important to build new understanding of racial, social and ethical issues when working in the non-profit and governmental sector. There are different sensitivities that need to be addressed, as well as an understanding of the players in the system. As a board member of the National Association of Minority Contractors- Upstate NY chapter, our founder not only has developed a keen understanding of the "rules of engagement" but has forged solid relationships that build into a diversity plan.
