DEI Strategy & Counsel

Do you have a need related to Title VII, ADA or FMLA? Or are you ready to create a proactive plan to address your potential areas of risk — before they’re an issue?

I can help.

With the experience of a Chief Diversity Officer, I understand the challenges facing businesses and employees today when it comes having uncomfortable, challenging conversations. Let me help you get comfortable being uncomfortable not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because today’s market demands it.

 

Diversity and inclusion does not equate to quotas or webinars. I focus on what’s compliant, practical and what aligns with your business strategy — from employee brand to recruitment and retention.

 

Here are some ways I can help:

  • DEI program development
  • Reviewing and developing mission statements and policies
  • Reviewing benchmarks of organizational cultural and empathy competency
  • Facilitating the sustainability of an organization’s DEI goals through the development of achievable annual plans
  • Performing and advising on cultural assessments/climate surveys
  • Conducting privileged analysis of diversity metrics
  • Conducting privileged pay equity analyses for private employers
  • Performing privileged diversity audits and analyses
  • Conducting availability analyses

“Brooke is an amazing public speaker, who brings great insight to the world of Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion. She spoke on both my podcast and at my company Executive Summit’s HR leadership conference. She brought valuable information to our audiences and was thoroughly enjoyed by our listeners. She brings humor alongside of her wisdom, and keeps the audience engaged and interested in what she has to say. I would HIGHLY recommend her to speak at your event or for an interview.”

“Brooke Salazar spoke to our group of paralegals from across the state on how to build your credibility and implicit bias and received rave reviews from our attendees. She was excellent at relating to her audience, being vulnerable, and creating a safe environment for others to share. Her knowledge and passion for serving others shined through.”

“Brooke’s presentations are always insightful, authentic and practical. One of her niche areas is promoting healthy interactions in mentorship by increasing self-awareness, understanding different personalities, perspectives, cultures and promoting empathy. I find her tips to be simple and practical, yet profound and foundational for successful professional and personal growth. Some of her words still ring in my ears. I enjoyed her presentation so much that I even asked her to give it my organization. I love how she’s authentic in her discussions.”
