Cultural Audits & Charters
We assess the areas of strength to build on and areas where there are gaps to fill against the national industry standards. We then develop programs of change customized to each organisation's needs and resources.
We also use cultural audit data to develop an organisation's Multicultural Charter to support the drive to better serve the diverse clients in a sector with a diverse workforce.
