Leadership Development: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Does your diversity and inclusion go beneath the surface?
The business case for how diversity makes companies successful has been made over and over. To illustrate, companies and teams with greater diversity are:
more likely to have greater financial returns.

BasilTree works to help organisations build diversity, from defining it in their own context, to enabling it with systems and processes and building mindsets and capability in business managers who implement it.
Women in Leadership
We work with some of the largest corporations, to identify women across career ladders, who can be developed for senior leadership roles over a defined period of time. We have taken on our clients’ goals on ratios and worked alongside the HR and business leadership, to attain those through a three-phase approach of Design – Discover – Deliver.

Inclusive HR systems
Women are less likely to be hired than men in entry-level and manager-level jobs. Just about 10% of Fortune 500 CEOs are women. 1 in 4 C-Suite Leaders is a woman. This data points to how systems across the employee lifecycle need to be designed for greater diversity and inclusion, not just of gender but all minorities. We help you create selection, progression, potential assessment and leadership development systems that address this ratio.
Unconscious Bias
Unconscious Bias training isn’t working, research suggests. In a meta-analysis of more than 490 studies involving some 80,000 people, the psychologist Patrick Forscher found that training did not change biased behaviour. At BasilTree, we go beyond increasing awareness of bias and its impact to helping people address their biases, change behaviour, and monitor progress over a sustainable period.
