Consultancy Workstreams
Nurturing Inclusivity
At Intelligence Connected, we're dedicated to advancing diversity and inclusion within the IT workforce through our tailored consultancy work streams. Each work stream offers targeted solutions to address gender inequality and promote inclusivity in the tech industry. Through four distinct workstreams we focus on addressing some of the biggest blockers for women in technology to flourish and progress within the workspace.
Each of our workstreams starts with a two-day assessment carried out by a consultant of ours who will conduct interviews and assess the organisation's current ways of working and create a gap analysis on best practices to attract, hire and retain female talent.

Mentorship ProgramsOur Mentorship Program focuses on empowering women in the IT workforce through structured mentorship opportunities. We pair female professionals with male counterparts or leaders within the organization to foster professional development, career advancement, and leadership skills. By providing guidance, support, and feedback, we aim to create a supportive environment that enables women to thrive and succeed in their careers.

Unconscious Bias in LeadershipOur Unconscious Bias in Leadership workstream is designed to address unconscious bias that may perpetuate gender inequality in leadership roles. We provide leaders with the tools and strategies to recognise and mitigate biases in decision-making processes, fostering a culture of inclusivity and equity within the organisation. Through awareness training and bias mitigation techniques, we empower leaders to make fair and unbiased decisions that promote diversity and inclusion.

Inclusive Recruitment and Selection PracticesThe Inclusive Recruitment and Selection Practices workstream focuses on enhancing the inclusivity of the recruitment process to attract and retain diverse talent in the IT workforce. We review and revise job descriptions to eliminate bias language, train recruiters on unconscious bias awareness, and implement strategies to attract a diverse pool of candidates. Our goal is to ensure equal opportunities for all candidates and create a more diverse and inclusive workforce.

Importance of Work/Life BalanceOur Work/Life Balance workstream evaluates company policies and practices related to work/life balance, with a focus on parental leave, flexible working arrangements, and other family-friendly policies. We assess the inclusivity of existing policies, gather employee feedback, and analyse the impact of work/life balance on employee engagement and productivity. Through policy review and employee feedback, we help organizations create a supportive and inclusive work environment that promotes work/life balance for all employees.
Embracing Collaboration on Equality
