Use targeted research to drive measurable cultural change
Our diversity research and analysis services are crucial to effective workforce development and customer outreach. Robust research can be the key to unlocking better representation of the clients, customers or audiences you serve. It can provide the insights needed to target more diverse candidates in your talent pipeline. We’re also champions of good work on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, so research can set your business out as a standard-bearer of inclusion and belonging—blazing a trail of best practice right across your industry.

Cross-cultural, intersectional research
Gain actionable insights on key areas of diversity, equity and inclusion
Our research projects are custom-made in line with your requirements and success criteria. Together, we’ll focus on your ability to measure the positive impact of engaging with EDI—to the benefit of staff, customers and service users. We’re especially well-versed in working with public-sector bodies and government departments, including Arts Council England, the NHS and the BBC.
In all our research, we approach diversity cross-culturally and intersectionally. In practice, that means we don’t treat protected characteristics in isolation—we interlink them and consider them alongside other crucial factors like education, class and socio-economic status. This allows us to build a comprehensive picture of where you are now, then provide practical recommendations to take you where you want to be.
