Culture Change

 

Some of our clients already have a very mature approach to equality, diversity & inclusion embedded within their organisations. Others will need more of a partnership approach to help them move from an aspiration to a reality.

​​

All of our clients are different to one another, so there’s no such thing as a “typical” client journey. There are often similar elements to the steps we take for clients who are at the beginning of their conversations around diversity & inclusion.

A New Normal has been an incredible partner over the last months as we have developed our diversity and inclusion vision and strategy.

​

They have engaged with our team brilliantly at all levels and across divisions through a series of workshops that have been a huge success for all stakeholders involved.

Richard Noble, Director of Communications at Audible UK

Audible is an industry-leading seller and producer of spoken audio entertainment, information, and educational programming. Audible’s people and audiences in the UK are at the heart of its business, and in 2019, the UK team decided they wanted to make a real shift in their approach to diversity and inclusion.

 

We’ve partnered with Audible to help them understand where they are presently, and to design a vision and series of strategies to move them forwards with their culture around D&I in the UK.

 

Our work has included:

  • Discovery sessions with employees and key teams to understand their perspectives on life at Audible and their ways of working.

​​

  • Design and delivery of interactive workshops for the UK Leadership Team.

​​

  • Supporting the creation of a vision statement and a plan of action to further embed inclusivity as a way of life in the UK business.

​​

  • Designing and facilitating workshops for all UK employees to build their knowledge around diversity, inclusion and unconscious bias, with a particular focus on empowering individuals to make changes.
