Our Consultants
Haldren consultants bring advanced statistical techniques, human capital analytics, and organizational psychology insight to every project. Many hold graduate degrees in business, social science, or data science and have published research on equity in hiring practices and inclusive workplace design. Their technical knowledge lets them translate complex datasets into clear insights for executive decision-makers.
Our team has first-hand experience in industries such as life sciences, fintech, higher education, manufacturing, and professional services. This cross-sector exposure helps clients understand how ethnic diversity, gender balance, and cultural dynamics influence business performance and community reputation.
Continuous learning is central to our culture. Consultants speak at industry events on racial justice, attend global talent-acquisition conferences, and participate in academic forums focused on DEI principles. These engagements ensure we stay current on emerging tools, new laws, and best practices that benefit San Diego companies.
Professional qualifications include SPHR, SHRM-SCP, and advanced certifications in human-resources analytics, plus memberships in respected inclusion and leadership associations. Each assignment is overseen by a vice president who guides project quality and safeguards client confidentiality.
Our Approach to DEI Assessment and Benchmarking
We begin by collecting quantitative and qualitative data—workforce demographics, hiring-process metrics, employee-survey feedback, and community engagement records. Using structured models such as SWOT analysis, PESTLE analysis, process mapping, benchmarking, and gap analysis, we reveal strengths, risks, and untapped opportunities.
Findings feed into a strategic plan that links DEI goals to business objectives. We identify priority actions—equitable hiring practices, inclusive leadership training, policy updates—and outline milestones for short- and long-term success.
Haldren advisers collaborate with client teams to refine recruitment strategies, craft inclusive workplace communications, and launch professional development programs. We share tools that help leaders embed accountability and nurture diverse teams.
After initial roll-outs, we compare results against peer organizations and continually refine tactics. Dashboards track progress on metrics such as retention of underrepresented groups, candidate-slate diversity, and cultural competence scores.
Unlike many providers that finish once a report is delivered, we stay engaged—offering guidance on program updates, new resources for human-resources staff, and best-practice insights that keep organizations ahead of legislative change.
This method differs from standard practices that rely on generic checklists. Our data-rich diagnostics, ethical safeguards, and focus on value help clients create sustainable progress rather than temporary fixes.
Why Haldren Uses a Customized Approach to DEI Assessment and Benchmarking
During a recent engagement, one of our consultants recalled leading recruitment for a tech firm that applied an off-the-shelf DEI survey. Scores looked healthy, yet exit interviews showed women engineers leaving faster than peers. The experience taught our team that generic tools miss subtle barriers buried in daily routines and leadership behaviors.
Since that project, we have built every assessment around the client’s culture, business model, and growth goals. We interview business leaders, gather insights from employee-resource groups, and align metrics with sector-specific compliance requirements. This custom-fit exposes unseen issues—such as bias in performance ratings or limited mentorship access—and guides actions that truly retain diverse talent.
A one-size approach often delivers little more than industry averages. By contrast, Haldren pinpoints root causes, recommends targeted solutions and supports implementation until results become visible across the organization.
