The Shift® DEI Accelerator
DEI isn’t a side project. Our DEI Accelerator fully integrates diversity, equity, and inclusion into every aspect of your organization, from culture to strategy, creating sustainable change.
70% of organizations say
they want to center DEI, but only 47% say they have the infrastructure to do so.*
Is your social impact organization one of them?
The Shift® DEI Accelerator is designed to help organizations move beyond temporary DEI initiatives and embed diversity, equity, and inclusion principles into the core of their operations, culture, and strategy. Our comprehensive, all-in-one solution ensures that DEI is deeply integrated, creating lasting, measurable impact for your team and your mission.
With our proven assessments, strategies, and implementation approaches, you’ll have everything you need to transform not just your culture but also the way your programs and services create change in the world.
Why You Need the Shift® DEI Accelerator
In today’s workplace, leading your industry and supporting your workforce requires a new approach. DEI can’t be just an “initiative”—it must be fully embedded into your organization.
Many organizations have DEI initiatives, but these often lead to minor, temporary changes. Without embedding DEI into core operations, organizations can experience frustration and disengagement among employees.
The Shift® DEI Accelerator provides a structured, long-term approach to embedding DEI in every part of your organization, ensuring sustainable growth and true inclusion.
How the Shift®Accelerator works:
At Tayden Impact Partners (TIP), we’ve created an all-in-one solution that’s research-backed and designed to guide your social impact organization through five phases of DEI transformation, ensuring DEI is integrated across your culture, operations, and programmatic impact areas:
