Areas of Practice

Training and Education

 

Is your organization ready to apply the principles of anti-oppression in practice? Do you need to support a service or department in becoming welcoming and celebratory of LGBT2Q, BIPOC, mad/disabled, or other marginalized groups? Juxtapose Consulting can create robust in-person or online educational opportunity that relies on well-researched best practices combined with stakeholder needs-assessment to achieve your goals.

Human Resource/Talent Acquisition Development

 

Perhaps you’ve committed to a more diverse workforce but haven’t yet been able to actualize it - you’re not seeing the candidates you need, or you’re meeting hiring goals but retention is struggling. Many organizations need a specific overhaul of their recruitment and retention strategies in order to create this kind of lasting organizational change. We can work with you to identify the points at which your BIPOC, LGBT2Q, mad/disabled and other marginalized candidates are dropping out (or not walking in at all), and how to allocate resources to support, attract, and retain the talent you want.

Process Audits

 

Are you concerned that procedures, forms, processes or other systems within your organization are disenfranchising or discouraging certain people from even getting in the door, or from receiving just treatment once they arrive? Juxtapose Consulting’s team of experienced analysts will help you identify and address those barriers so that you can equitably serve your entire community or client base.

Resource Review

 

Whether your organization publishes materials (internal or external), provides industry guidance, presents artistic or cultural work, or other items, Juxtapose Consulting’s team can review these and make recommendations for changes that accurately reflect the values and mission of your organization.

Live Test of Service

 

Perhaps your organization has multiple levels and outlets of service. Having provided guidance about the just and equitable treatment of all candidates, customers or clients, don’t you want to put it to the test and be sure the message has fully percolated through your organization? Juxtapose Consulting will work with you to create a success rubric, then arrange to access the processes, procedures or gateways to your organization - whether at the front desk of a hotel or in a senior/C-suite hiring process - and deliver a report with recommendations. Internally we refer to this as Secret Shopping for Equity, and we find it’s the best way to understand what challenges or internal inconsistencies front-line workers may still struggle to manage and support them with practical resources they can easily integrate.

Needs Assessment and Internal Research

 

It’s always appealing to jump in and start applying fixes immediately, but some organizations really benefit from stopping first to understand where their locations, departments, or customers/clients are now for a more targeted grasp on what’s needed to improve the equity profile of each. Juxtapose Consulting uses a mixed-methods, strength-based approach with a high percentage of qualitative engagement to understand the stories of people who do the primary work of the organization so we can best add to them.
