diversity & inclusion
The face of the world is changing, and so is how people entering the workforce view diversity, inclusion, and gender identity. Providing diversity and inclusion training isn’t just about doing it as a formality, rather it’s about helping employees understand that the company places value on diversity, building inclusive working spaces, properly using employee pronouns, and overcoming all sorts of unconscious biases.
A diverse and inclusive workplace is one that makes everyone, regardless of who they are or what they do for the organization, feel equally involved in and supported in all areas of the workplace.
Research has shown many benefits of a diverse and inclusive workplace: higher revenue, greater readiness to innovate, an increased ability to recruit a diverse talent pool and a 5.4 times higher employee retention rate.
Our Diversity & Inclusion Courses:
-
Leading for Diversity, Inclusion & Equity in the Workplace - 1-day training workshop on how to lead diversity and inclusion in your organization, with a concentration on unconscious bias, privilege, gender and sexual diversity and proper use of pronouns in the workplace.
-
Inclusion & Diversity in the Workplace - ½ day workshop to offer all of your employees to discuss what is diversity, inclusion, unconscious bias and privilege.
-
Proper Use of Pronouns in the Workplace - ½ day workshop to explore what gender and sexual diversity is and the proper use of pronouns.
strategic planning
Consider this: If you asked all the senior leaders in your company to share the company direction and targets, would they be able to provide a clear answer? If not, strategic clarity and focus is lacking. Without everyone understanding and working towards the same goals, the company will drift and miss out on opportunities that align with their goals.
At Uprise, we have seen first hand, many times, how a well developed strategic blueprint developed in partnership with a neutral third party can catapult the success of a business or organization. We carry out a detailed analysis of your market and work with your team to conduct a process that leads to clear goal setting, expectations and communication. We then build the plan to set and keep your business and people on the right track to success.
team workshops
How much time and energy do you invest in your people? What about in yourself? Unfortunately in many companies, leadership and team development is handled only when a problem arises. We encourage companies to take a very proactive approach to professional development opportunities that align with their goals. Uprise supports leadership and team development for many types of organizations through customized coaching and through various workshops to make training easy and accessible for everyone.
All workshops can be delivered in-person or through live virtual sessions.

leadership training
When it comes to being an expert in your field, you know what you’re doing. However, when you add people into the mix - people YOU have to manage - you might find yourself struggling without the right tools and resources. Not many of us have degrees in leadership, but it can make or break an organization.
Uprise Consulting offers a Certificate in Leadership Training program that consists of three parts:
-
leading yourself,
-
leading teams and
-
leading the organization.
By offering a customized white-labelled program, we not only shape the program specifically based on the organization’s unique requirements for training, we also allow companies to brand the program elements and certificates. This reinforces the company brand and culture through their leadership training program.
Whether you are a soon-to-be manager, a first-time manager or a seasoned leader, this program provides you with the necessary hands-on training you need to build upon your competencies to be effective in your role of leading people.

supplier diversity
Supplier diversity is a strategic business practice that promotes equal opportunity for typically under-represented groups of business owners - including minorities, women, aboriginals, LGBTQ2S and veterans. Minority-owned businesses are vital to Canada’s economic prosperity.
By implementing a supplier diversity program, companies are encouraging the use of these businesses in their supply chains. Many Fortune 1000 companies are now implementing these programs - it only makes sense given the increasingly diverse markets that most companies serve in this global age.
If your company handles a large amount of procurement, consider a supplier diversity program. Not only does it feel right to be socially responsible, companies who implement these programs see better procurement practices, reduced costs, improved profitability, increased innovation, new markets and better community engagement.
We also help businesses owned by these groups identify opportunities for connecting and working with companies who use supplier diversity.
