“It all comes down to the way we treat people. When you treat people with dignity and respect all time, you can work through anything.” – John Bacon

Collaboration

Gazelle is proud to be collaborating with the Dignity Model, a pioneering concept developed by the esteemed Dr. Donna Hicks. Dr. Hicks, an Associate at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University, is a leading expert in the field of international conflict. The Dignity Model, which she designed, takes a learning approach to understanding the role of dignity in breaking down and restoring relations.

After years of research, Dr. Hicks identified The Essential Elements of Dignity, which can either honor or violate a person’s dignity. We encourage you to visit her website to learn more about this influential model.

Considerations

Companies’ most challenging decisions are when and who should assist them with Diversity and Inclusion initiatives. The first thing to consider is who can help you identify the gaps in your DEIB strategy or help you build the plan—finding the right consultant to get to know your organization and help you determine the areas of greatest need.

  • Are you challenged with hiring and retaining diverse candidates?
  • What does the top of your organization look like?
  • What are your metrics for leadership and management? Do you have Business Resource Groups?
  • These are just a few of the questions for consideration.
