The DEI landscape is rapidly changing. Some people expect companies to constantly speak and act upon DEI issues. Others prefer you stay silent – though neutrality can be just as risky. Despite good intentions, many companies are doing it wrong. Instead of creating more inclusiveness, you’re importing divisiveness. That approach hurts your enterprise, alienates stockholders, creates divisions among employees, and distances everyone from the culture you’re trying to create.
We have a different way of looking at your DEI efforts. Bridging the divide between red and blue is in Purple’s name. It’s not just what we do, it’s who we are. We bring diverse points of view together to make your enterprise stronger – to the benefit of every employee, stockholder and stakeholder.
Purple’s unified, custom, data-informed approach will assess your DEI strategy, so you can prepare your enterprise for the future, no matter your starting point.
There is a way to manage all those voices
They all want you to say something. To do something. But the problem is, the world has gotten really good at sniffing out
inauthenticity. Before you act, it needs to be true to who you are as a company and fit with how the world sees you. The good
news is you don’t have to face these challenges alone. Purple has the tools and expertise to help you understand what you’re
doing right and/or what you’re doing wrong. Our data and insight-informed approach and narrative development will help you
make decisions to address stakeholder expectations that also minimize the risk to your business and your reputation.
