Where is your organization on its journey of belonging?

Navigating Transformation: Unveiling Organizational Inclusion

Embark on a journey with our structured 4-part assessment process. This approach serves as a compass to determine the health and maturity of your organization’s inclusive practices, sense of belonging, and culture.


At Hinton and Company, we are committed to empowering organizations to initiate meaningful transformation by first comprehending the pulse of their cultural environment. The Hinton Culture Compass is a mini-assessment tool designed to provide high-level insights into the cultural fabric of your organization. By exploring four critical dimensions—Diversity, Culture, Marketplace, and Social Responsibility—our tool paves the way for a deeper understanding and strategic enhancement of your organizational culture.

  • Demographic Data Review

    Data — the foundation of progress. We are committed to exploring how your organization’s diverse dimensions are reflected, encompassing generation, gender, race, disability, neurodiversity, veteran status, and sexual orientation. Even if demographic data is not readily available, our adaptable approach incorporates a self-ID campaign to comprehensively capture these vital details.

  • Cultural Sentiment

    Unraveling the essence of your organization, we define cultural sentiment as the collective emotions and perceptions shared by your team members. Our methodology for gathering cultural sentiment is two-fold: engaging one-on-one interviews with executive leaders and organizing focus groups with all team members. Together, we’ll refine the questions, communications, timing, and structure for optimal resonance within your organization.

  • Maturity Measure

    Our proprietary tool is designed to systematically gauge your organizations’ s strides towards a more inclusive, equitable, and diverse environment. The our comprehensive assessment covers Workforce Demographics, Workplace Infrastructure for inclusion and diversity, the Marketplace, and Social aspects of the organization.

  • Policy, Programs, & Initiatives

    Through a comprehensive review of your policies and programs, we gain unparalleled insights into your organization’s inclusive landscape. Our review process includes a thorough evaluation of relevant policy documents, DEIB-related materials, an analysis of engagement and survey data, and insights gathered from listening sessions. Your input plays a pivotal role in our commitment to crafting a comprehensive understanding of your inclusion initiatives.

The End Result

Report + Roadmap

Our full-length report distills essential survey insights. It provides a snapshot of your present landscape and traces your advancement along your inclusion journey. We highlight strengths, identify growth areas, provide industry benchmarks, and deliver recommendations with examples. You will also receive a multi-year roadmap for seamless implementation.

Present Results

Our commitment doesn’t end at the report. We also provide an executive summary to share with additional stakeholders. Additionally, we customize a PowerPoint presentation for you to seamlessly present this report internally. We can also present the report to a group of your choice, often your Executive Leadership Team (ELT) or Board. We’re flexible — whether you prefer to lead or have us take the reins. After all, this is the exciting part where you get to talk through your proposed actions.

Thought Partnership

Beyond data and reports, we provide strategy and thought partnership in formulating a communications plan for sharing your roadmap and action plan with organizational leaders. Our experts assist you in dissecting the findings, identifying quick wins versus long-term objectives, and exploring avenues for self-sufficiency in implementation, with consideration for your fiscal and human resources.

Let’s work together on this.
