Equality Diversity and Inclusion Client Testimonials

'Berkshire Consultancy has transformed our specification for a management development programme for minority ethnic managers into an innovative, high quality course. The result is a challenging and exciting opportunity for managers who have the potential to progress to top level management.'

'Accelerate is an excellent course. It has been inspirational for me and enabled me to look at my own management and leadership style. It has also kept me focused when I have not been successful in promotion and offered me the opportunity to network with colleagues nationally. I would recommend this programme to anyone.'

'The work-life balance initiative has achieved positive business benefits not realised before'

David Purdon (Managing Director)

'At the outset of the project, initial nervousness was overcome very quickly by our consultant and the exercise to explore work life balance was crucial to this. The subject was very newto us all - a little vague and perhaps unreal. Our consultant was able to guide us through our own psychological barriers, raise our awareness of workable practical solutions and make the whole debate pragmatic and commercially viable.'

Anne Copeland - HR Director

'The course was very effective in demonstrating the importance of diversity whilst highlighting the issues of diversity already existing in the workplace. It made me recognise issues which I perhaps have previously taken for granted'

'We are delighted with the progress which has been made over the past few months in beginning to set up a robust equality and diversity work programme for the NMC. From a very low base with only sketchy awareness of equality and diversity, we have progressed to a position where we have in place a new Equality and Diversity Unit with three excellent staff who are moving rapidly ahead to raise the profile of the agenda across the organisation and with external stakeholders. We are grateful for the help you have given in helping us to reach this position and to set up firm foundations to take us forward. We know we are just at the beginning of the journey but there is a buzz about the work .Thank you for the support you have given in getting us to where we can now move ahead with some confidence.'
