Archipelo Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy

We are cultural architects that recognise that Equality, Diversity and Inclusion are integral to business success and individual growth.

We believe that good equality, diversity and inclusive practices ensure that services provided to people are fair and accessible.

We at Archipelo know we need to ‘walk the talk’ to commit that our clients are treated as equals, with respect and dignity, and that their differences are celebrated.

That’s why we are publishing our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy to showcase our values and that we shall use every time we interact with you.

Our Vision

Our Values

We pledge for inclusivity, equality and diversity in all aspects of our work.

These are the values that unite us as Archipelo Coaching Professionals, and we therefore pledge to uphold these principles, and be held to account to them at any point in time.

01. Equality

All voices are equal. We promote inclusivity and strive to uphold equal and equitable practices to hear and understand all perspectives. We make the required adjustments to enable everyone to bring their whole selves in our work together and have a voice.

WE TREAT EVERYONE EQUALLY AND FAIRLY

  • We plan ahead of workshops to create accessible/optimal learning environment

  • We coach individuals – different learning styles/exercises

  • We respond in the moment to readdress imbalance

  • Our materials/anecdotes are inclusive and varied

02. Respect

WE EMBRACE UNCONDITIONAL POSITIVE REGARD & RESPECT DIFFERENCE

We operate with respect and compassion. Whatever you say, think or do – we believe the underlying intent is ultimately a positive one. We facilitate a safe learning environment that demonstrates tolerance for different experiences/opinions and promotes respect, safety and kindness for others.

  • We contract and role model expected behaviours

  • We acknowledge that participation speed can be different

  • We give people space to explain their views and acknowledge sharing vulnerability

  • We design the room to ensure variety

03. Challenge

We demonstrate appreciation for ‘going there’ – we are curious and open- minded and seek to challenge to grow understanding. We will speak out when equitable, diverse and inclusive practices are not observed. We offer support and commitment to encourage change.

WE COMMIT TO CHALLENGE

  • We contract to enable challenge and promote shared responsibility

  • We are vigilant of blind spots and microaggressions

  • We challenge stereotyping

  • Zero tolerance of any discrimination

  • WE CHALLENGE FOR BENEFIT

    We push everyone to be better, go further, think differently.

    We hold ourselves and others accountable by defining clear objectives and meaningful actions.
