IEC's management coaching services assist managers in managing diversity-related issues in the workplace or implementing a diversity initiative. The goal is to develop managers into role models for the diversity initiative. This includes assisting them in:

• Developing a clear and concise understanding of diversity and diversity management;
• Making the business connection between diversity management and organizational success;
• Understanding the process approach to diversity management and the appropriate process for their organization;
• Recognizing and managing their own personal diversity issues; and
• Developing the skills to manage diversity-related situations in the workplace.

Our services are highly customized to meet the needs of the individual and the organization.  Generally they include the following activities:

• A team of IEC associates is assigned to each organization for the duration of the project.
• The parameters of the consulting services are discussed and agreed upon such that expectations of services and results are clear.
• The frequency and duration of the formal consulting sessions are set.
• The desired mix between group and one-on-one sessions is discussed and agreed upon.
• "General Consulting Hours" are included for flexibility and to allow for a rapid response to issues or situations that may arise where the management team seeks immediate coaching.
