RedInk Enterprises LLC named one of the 2021 Top 10 Emerging Diversity & Inclusion Companies by HR Tech Outlook

From placeholder strategies to comply with the civil rights movements in the 1960s to cumbersome surveys designed to better engage with ethnic employees in the early 2000s, diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives have undergone several changes over the last century. Today, as the business landscape slowly grasps the value of DEI programs in encouraging innovation and boosting productivity, employers are looking for additional avenues to diversify their workforces. However, even with the current movement towards ending gender-based and racial inequalities across all walks of life, many companies are still struggling to foster a culture that drives diversification, equity, and inclusion. This problem is rooted in the fact that as firms grow larger, it becomes difficult for the C-suite to keep track of their minority employees and their specific support needs. This issue became even more pronounced in the wake of COVID-19 as it disrupted traditional engagement processes with remote ones, hindering an HR personnel’s ability to identify an employee’s personal needs.

Addressing this challenge with its three-pronged approach—communications, education, and engagement—to boosting the efficacy of DEI strategies is Georgia-based RedInk Enterprises. The company’s services include one-on-one coaching for individuals and C-suite executives, group facilitation programs, as well as DEI strategy development for organizations. “We provide collaborative, transformational experiences to help ensure every individual is seen, heard, and respected, which drives the creation of an unyielding sense of belonging across an organization,” says Toi B. James, founder and chief impact officer at RedInk Enterprises.
