DEI Strategy & Action Plan
MindTribes‘ Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Strategy & Action Plan services are designed to help organisations develop and implement comprehensive DEI strategies that align with their overall business goals.
What are DEI Strategy and Action Plans?
A DEI Strategy & Action Plan outlines the steps an organisation will take to achieve its diversity, equity, and inclusion goals. This strategic framework provides a roadmap for integrating DEI principles into all aspects of the business, from leadership and governance to daily operations and employee engagement.
Through our DEI Strategy & Action Plan services, our diversity & inclusion consultants assist organisations in creating a clear, actionable plan that drives meaningful and sustainable change. This includes setting goals, identifying key initiatives, and establishing metrics to measure progress.
Why a DEI Strategy is essential for organisational success
A well-defined Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) strategy is crucial for organizations aiming to thrive in today’s competitive and diverse marketplace. By fostering an inclusive environment where employees from all backgrounds feel valued and respected, businesses can unlock the full potential of their workforce. A strong DEI strategy not only enhances employee engagement and satisfaction but also drives innovation by encouraging diverse perspectives.
Furthermore, organizations that prioritize DEI are better equipped to attract top talent, improve decision-making, and build a positive reputation among clients and stakeholders. In the long run, embedding DEI into your organizational culture leads to sustainable growth, increased productivity, and a more adaptable, future-ready business.

Case study: Real-world success with DEI Strategy
A Division within a Department of the Government of Victoria engaged MindTribes to create a DEI Strategy and Action Plan. This initiative aimed to improve workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion, build internal capability, and foster a culturally safe environment. The project was supported by the Division’s Executive Leadership Team and coordinated by the staff D&I Advisory Group.
MindTribes conducted an extensive staff consultation process using multiple methods to gather input from various levels within the Division. This included small group sessions, individual interviews, executive presentations, and an online survey. These activities provided a comprehensive understanding of the current DEI culture and identified specific needs and challenges. Collaborative workshops were also held with the D&I Advisory Group to develop actionable recommendations based on the consultation findings.
The consultation process revealed several important insights that informed the development of the DEI Strategy and Action Plan. The findings highlighted the need for systemic implementation of DEI practices, greater diversity in leadership, improved recruitment and retention practices, and enhanced training programs. Additionally, the need for better support mechanisms and transparent feedback channels was emphasised. These insights guided the creation of a roadmap with specific actions aimed at fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace.
The DEI Strategy and Action Plan developed by MindTribes provided a clear and actionable roadmap for the Division to enhance its DEI practices. The plan included strategies for policy review, leadership initiatives, complaints handling, feedback mechanisms, workplace culture, and training. By implementing this plan, the Division aims to create a more inclusive, equitable, and culturally safe environment, ultimately improving staff wellbeing and service delivery to diverse communities.
