Our approach
The RiverRoad approach means looking at EDI through a different lens. From your employee experience, and the way your corporate values show up, to interactions with clients and how you make an impact in your industry. We know that inclusion can be baked into every facet of your business. Not a niche topic, or the preserve of the few.
Here are a few of the ways we can support you.
Equity, diversity & inclusion strategy consulting
If your EDI vision is your North Star then your EDI strategy is the wayfinder for everyone in your business, regardless of role or seniority. Your strategy embodies the guiding principles that keep your people on track and moving in the same direction, even if they’re starting from different points on the map.
At RiverRoad we will give you more than just a list of tactics, or a summary of your diversity statistics. Instead, we will work with you to create an insight-driven strategy that provides the language and narrative you need to engage your audiences, inspire action and deliver impact.
Human Resources team support
The HR or talent team are key stakeholders in any conversation about EDI, talent or business transformation but they are often an overlooked community in the EDI landscape. Frequently on the front line of the employee experience – from career progression to employee relations issues – getting it right is crucial.
RiverRoad can help you understand where and how your talent processes might be hindering your EDI efforts, and how to minimise bias in your approach. We collaborate to upskill HR leaders on key issues on the EDI agenda, and the challenges and opportunities they present.
Inclusive cultures and behaviours
Organisational culture can be defined in many ways but for us it means the way that people in your business behave, and the mindset and belief systems that underpin that behaviour.
At RiverRoad, we provide the right space for safe and facilitated conversations about inclusivity, and the appropriate training and learning opportunities to empower and inspire change at all levels in your teams. This could start with focus groups, bespoke training or building inclusive leadership frameworks that help turn EDI theory into meaningful action on the ground.
Employee Resource Groups and Network development
From inception, through to sustainable and measurable impact, RiverRoad can make your ERGs really work for you. The size, remit and resource allocated to your ERGs and networks will vary based on the scale of your business and EDI aspirations but we’ve found that the secret to success lies in finding the right balance of professionalism and authenticity.
Whether your ERGs exist to enhance your organisation’s culture, amplify the EDI strategy or create community, their work should add value. RiverRoad can help your networks build their strategy, their reputations, and their reach.

Our DE&I training with Antoinette was fantastic. There can often be a view that training can be boring, even for important topics, however Antoinette has a presentation style that naturally brings people on board from the outset and she is able to keep the room engaged throughout. Antoinette’s expertise is evident but it is the way that she interacts with the room that really sets her training style apart from other training that we have received. We have received such positive feedback internally and the training has opened up conversations that otherwise some may have found difficult to have. We highly recommend DE&I training with Antoinette.
