Diversity and inclusion (D&I) aren’t just corporate catchphrases anymore; they are socially responsible initiatives critical to achieving organisational success. Diverse, impartial, and inclusive workplaces radiate equality, regardless of the ethnicity, gender, or background of the workforce. Moreover, having a multilingual workforce is viewed as a prospect for a firm to infuse its business culture with diversified creativity and innovation. However, due to the lack of holistic employee demographic data and inadequate efforts to track the progress of existing D&I initiatives, numerous businesses struggle to instil these values across their operations.

In light of these developments, the marketplace has been experiencing a surge in D&I solution and services companies that leverage the latest methodologies and technologies to help enterprises achieve effective D&I. Finland-based BusinessWiz is one such example of a D&I service provider that aids firms in simplifying the creation of an all-inclusive and hospitable work environment. BusinessWiz is among the leading B2B service providers in the Nordic region, providing services like D&I audit, inclusive communication audit, inclusive leadership program, and more to support companies in creating a sustainable workplace culture.

“Our mission is to encourage and assist organisations to create a workplace culture that is not only profitable for them but also provides an equal opportunity to every employee regardless of their labels,” explains Priyanka Banerjee, co-founder and CEO, BusinessWiz. During her years as a tech professional in the corporate sector, Priyanka worked with diverse individuals across the globe, which led her to identify a huge gap in modern day businesses, namely diversity among employees. This issue was driven by a lack of D&I knowledge and expertise required to build an inclusive workplace culture and understand the basics of managing diverse individuals. After three years of networking, experimenting, and learning about D&I across Finland, she launched BusinessWiz to help companies on their journey to achieving an impactful D&I.

BusinessWiz’s D&I Survey and Strategy service is conducted anonymously to include diverse demographics and inclusions, tailor-made to meet organisational goals. It also shares analysis reports of the survey insights with detailed presentations and custom reports to highlight areas of achievement and improvement. Following this, the company’s clientele gets a bespoke consultation of a D&I strategy built around their business objectives. In addition, BusinessWiz’s company culture services help foster a long-lasting and sustainable culture in the client’s workplace. This is achieved by setting up short-term goals that lead to a long-term culture shift and checkpoints to adopt and measure D&I strategies.

On the other hand, BusinessWiz provides its inclusive leadership programme to deliver the know-how of supporting a diverse workforce to completely transform the leadership style for its clientele. This programme is most suitable for C-suite executives, senior and mid-level leaders, as well as aspiring leaders. Concurrently, BusinessWiz conducts D&I workshops that raise awareness about various topics related to diversity, equity and inclusion when enterprises are unsure of which D&I programmes to avail for their employees. Through these workshops, a business case for D&I can be showcased to a C-suite along with company-specific topics as per the requirement. Above all, BusinessWiz’s comprehensive services that cater to the varying needs of its clientele are what make it stand out from its contemporaries in the D&I consultation arena.

With its ability to drive a positive and substantial impact on employee retention, high-performing D&I initiatives have become a top priority for businesses. Companies today are recognising the value of a well-positioned D&I strategy across their workforces and accepting the significance of having multiple cultures within their organisation. Looking forward, consultancy firms are poised to support enterprises in obtaining the right training to inculcate such values and BusinessWiz is at the forefront of this movement, forging the right path ahead for many to follow
