Diversity & Inclusion

Explore and engage the vast diversity that abounds in your organization. Contact us to learn how.

Diversity professionals know that productivity soars when you foster inclusion and respect.

The American Society of Association Executives’ Diversity Committee has found organizations that identify diversity and inclusion as core values proactively provide diversity training.  New employees receive diversity orientation, and annual refresher training is offered for all employees and managers to address relevant policies, procedures and practices. These efforts reinforce the importance of valuing, celebrating and leveraging diversity.

VisionPoint has been working with trailblazer businesses since 1999 to address the most current diversity issues. Today, we work primarily with organizations to leverage generational diversity, encourage cultural competency and create diversity maturity.

Two pioneering models, F.A.I.R. and M.E.E.T. are at the root of VisionPoint’s award-winning diversity training series used by organizations around the globe to equip employees and managers with proven communication tools needed to take personal responsibility for creating a respectful workplace.

How do we measure success? By our clients’ success.

Since 1992, the F.A.I.R. model has been helping to bring about a profound shift in the way hundreds of private and public sector organizations approach EEO, affirmative action and inclusion in the workplace. No longer do their employees view these issues only through the lens of the laws and regulations; rather, they see them within the context of fairness, integrity and respect. F.A.I.R. offers practical ways to be fair in day-to-day interactions; compliance comes as a natural result of the workplace culture that emerges.

Make time to discuss
Explore differences
Encourage respect
Take personal responsibility

M.E.E.T. gained momentum in 2000 as an extension to F.A.I.R. to provide a behavior skills model specifically for resolving conflicts driven by cultural differences—differences that traditional conflict resolution and problem-solving models do not take into account. M.E.E.T. is based on research into stress-reducing communications, helping to minimize the “fight or flight” response and encouraging calm, considered discussion on conflicts that arise from diversity.

Combined, F.A.I.R. and M.E.E.T. provide a complete curriculum for any organization making the shift from reactive to proactive management of inclusion. These proven, best practice models help support high-performing teams, foster collaboration and drive innovation for a powerful competitive advantage.
