Consulting firm in diversity and inclusion
As business leaders or human resources professionals, be at the forefront and stand out from your competitors by adopting equity, diversity and inclusion practices that are recognized for their positive impact. Backed by scientific data, empathy and diversified experience, our team is here to deploy your company’s full potential.
Perhaps you’ve noticed a great deal of homogeneity across your work teams, despite your goodwill and desire to demonstrate greater diversity and inclusion?
It’s time for that to change.
It’s true that when we talk about DEI issues, we touch on very personal sensitivities, beliefs built up since the first years of our existence and conveyed by our upbringing. URelles can guide you through the process of change.
Our team is here to put in place a concrete action plan tailored to the realities of your organization, and to support you every step of the way to achieve lasting results. We know where to start.
How can you make your business more inclusive?
Using a combination of data-driven analysis and field-tested best practice, we develop tailor-made action plans for SMEs, NPOs and large companies in Quebec.
We have developed an integrated, customized process that is aimed at all members of your teams, from management to employees. The aim is to assess the current situation to understand what’s holding you back, so that you can put in place an inclusive structure to recruit and retain a workforce that represents our society in all its richness.
More than 95% of employers say they will have introduced new equity, diversity and inclusion measures by 2021, but only a quarter of employees think their company has done anything about it

Your employees are your greatest strength. By building a truly inclusive culture in your company, you’ll stand out from the competition and become an attractive place to work.
Customized coaching in equity, diversity and inclusion
Where to start?
Each organization’s context is unique, and so are our solutions.
The average duration of our in-company coaching is 9 to 12 months, and our action plans are spread over 2 to 3 years. Implementing DEI best practices is a long-term process. However, our timelines include recommendations for short-term actions to achieve more immediate results.
We provide a roadmap so you can easily track the progress of your DEI initiative.
We also pass on our expertise through diversity and inclusion training and workshops.
“From the very first discussions, URelles has demonstrated a remarkable ability to listen to our needs and work with us to guide us through the DEI process. The personalized approach won us over and gave us great confidence from our very first meetings. URelles was quick to adapt to the very specific environment of the strategic groupings of Quebec research funds, and showed originality in its suggestions and recommendations.”

Winning diversity, inclusion and equity strategies for companies
There are many recognized equity, diversity and inclusion strategies that can be implemented within companies wishing to embark on an DEI approach. Here are two of URelles’ most popular strategies, tailored to your company’s needs and reality:
Self-identification DEI surveys
URelles assists companies in developing and revising a questionnaire, both quantitatively and qualitatively, to comply with best practices in equity, diversity and inclusion, while taking intersectionality into account. We collect two types of data:
– self-identification data to establish the company’s representativeness
– data on staff members’ feelings of inclusion.
Self-identification DEI surveys provide a clear picture of the company’s composition, and enable us to measure progress in improving diversity over time. It also helps to target priority areas and issues, define measurable objectives and allocate adequate resources to support diversity and inclusion initiatives.
DEI workshop for employees
This DEI workshop is based on strengths and solutions. During this co-construction workshop, we develop a bank of ideas and solutions with team members, so that they correspond to their needs and realities. Through guided steps, we progress as a group towards a vision and concrete proposals. This interactive and positive approach enables people to take part in change, so that it is meaningful and aligned with what the company’s teams are really experiencing.
