Shine in Practice ©
Shine is a flexible, adaptive learning approach for specialist diversity and inclusion professionals.
These dedicated permanent roles are now commonplace within corporate and other global organisations. But we know from experience that people often arrive in these roles direct from the line, or are multi-hatted in related fields like organisational development, employee relations, CSR, consulting, change management, learning and development, HR or project management, perhaps with only limited expertise in diversity management as a specialist field of professional practice.
Research we have helped to conduct shows this can often cause a great deal of stress and isolation for those in the role expected to perform quickly against high expectations. It can delay organisational progress and results, where professionals are climbing a steep learning curve without proper support.
Shine allows specialist diversity and other relevant professionals direct access to years of expertise from experienced operators across all sectors, who have first-hand knowledge of these in-house roles at senior levels and understand exactly what it’s like.
The Shine co-coaching and mentoring approach is exclusive to Embankment, delivered to help diversity professionals shine through excellent theoretical knowledge and practices.
