DEI & Workplace Culture Consulting
There’s a way to create workplaces that make people feel good.
Spaces that meet the unique identities and experiences of their employees with curiosity, respect, and compassion. Environments that reject the oppressive narratives of professionalism and capitalism that are so deeply embedded in our companies and organizations. Workplaces that become communities of celebration and support, because they believe that their people are their greatest asset.
At Counterculture, we believe that creating these workplaces is not just possible, but necessary.
We partner with with businesses and organizations who are committed to examining and evolving their workplace operations in an effort to create equitable and inclusive environments where employees can thrive. Through speaking engagements, trainings, and individualized support, we help employers disrupt toxic systems, transform their workplace culture, and accelerate organizational change with one key community in mind: the employees.
Career Alignment & Coaching
We spend way too much of our time at work to settle for unsupportive, disempowering, or toxic environments. Counterculture’s services help employees identify and land positions that are aligned to their values and needs through career alignment, coaching, and job search preparation. We also teach employees how to practice more self-advocacy in the workplace and manage difficult situations through our resources and 1:1 coaching.
