An inclusive culture and practical DEI strategies are key to reducing workplace conflicts, increasing performance, and driving employee satisfaction.
And when you address systemic inequities head-on, you'll see fewer complaints, increased retention of racialized talent, women, and historically marginalized groups, and a more positive company reputation.
However, many organizations struggle to turn commitments into concrete action.
We provide the foundational concepts, vocabulary, and strategies you need to create lasting change.
When you feel:
Your organization claims commitment to DEI but isn't truly exploring systemic issues
Leaders aren't fully owning the work or doing the inner work to become more inclusive
You don't know where to start with DEI initiatives
Existing policies, like Respectful Workplace policies, need revision
Leaders lack inclusive leadership skills
There's a need for a training platform for frontline staff
Allegations of discrimination and harassment arise
It isn’t easy to get buy-in from senior leaders
Usual methods aren't working for these specific issues
You need a strong assessment approach and strategy that aligns with global DEI standards
You want to develop a framework and policy that makes inclusion "who we are"
That's where we come in.
We offer a comprehensive approach to your transformation. Through thorough assessments, customized strategies, and inclusive policies, we make it easy for you to effectively implement, monitor, and maintain for long-term success.
We are dedicated to creating diverse, inclusive, and safe workplaces for ALL marginalized groups.
We offer comprehensive solutions—from leadership development and employee education to policy improvements and compliance expertise—that address systemic inequities and foster truly inclusive organizational cultures.
Through our holistic approach, we help organizations go beyond diversity and inclusion to achieve meaningful, lasting change.
DEI isn’t one size fits all, and neither are we.
Here’s why clients love working with us and exactly what you can expect:
“We thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to work briefly with Janelle. She created a comfortable space where we were able to be open and honest and offered thoughtful insight to a difficult situation that really resonated. We highly recommend booking a consultation with Janelle.”
Kat Horzempa, Body Positive Fitness
"Janelle's DEI consulting approach combines a strong assessment methodology, a global DEI benchmark, and the highest level of employee engagement. What impressed us most was her ability to understand our business needs and tailor a strategy that works virtually and aligns with our organizational goals.
Her team provided us with a comprehensive organizational assessment, identified priority areas, and delivered an actionable strategy that our board of directors could monitor and maintain. Her use of well-received focus groups helped build trust within our team, and her proposed action plan gave us a clear path forward.
Their messaging and policy development expertise have been invaluable as we work towards our big vision: making inclusivity not just something we do but who we are as an organization.”
Brent Dumonceaux, Human Resources Generalist, South Calgary Primary Care Network

“I cannot thank you enough for the incredible work you did on this project! I was impressed by how much content and the numerous concepts you were able to cover in such a short amount of time, the breakdown of each into tangible practice illustrations and scenarios, and the patient explanation of the rationale behind each. Your tone was open and educational - very effective in shining a light on uncomfortable truths. The Registrar and the Committee members commented on the caliber of the product and the exceptional value of the learning experience – and everyone wondered aloud how we could use this resource to help improve the College’s work in other portfolios. As of today, your vodcast is being shared with other leaders at the College to help inform recruitment and onboarding processes.
Janelle, it is always such a pleasure working with you. I admire you and the work you are doing. This is one of the most meaningful projects that I have ever been involved with.”
Lara Thacker, Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario
“Janelle provided our committee and the organization with insight and direction for how to improve our Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion practices., including what to consider when drafting a framework from which to deepen our efforts. Janelle provided multiple informative, engaging trainings on JEDI topics for various groups within our organization (from our nationwide staff to our board of directors) to help further support our growth and learning. These trainings created a foundational understanding and awareness of topics such as inclusive language and how they can be applied to our work both internally and within our educational programming. We appreciated her collaborative nature, positive attitude, and ability to clearly speak to complex issues. We highly recommend All Things Equitable!”
