Focus Groups and Stakeholder
Interviews
In the context of the events of 2020, the adverse impact of Covid-19 on the Black community and the aftermath of the tragic death of George Floyd in which there has been intense focus on the systemic racism experienced by Black people and how allyship will be pivotal in challenging racism in the workplace.
Focus Groups: In this safe space, Abi will ask specific questions about the organisation and invite employees to share their lived experiences inside the company as well as other challenges that has played a factor in them not being able to bring their authentic selves to work.
Abi will ask question around all aspects of D&I in your organisation and where the attendees think the challenges are and what changes they would like to see happen.
Abi also does Focus Groups solely for Leadership Teams and Board members.
Stakeholder Interviews: We know changes can only happen from the top down. Here, Abi will have honest conversations with Stakeholders about what their stance on institutional racism is and listen to what process they think should be put into the business so help build equality and belonging for all.
