Cross-Company Partnership Services

Cross-company programmes are usually piloted with an industry group, such as the Diversity Project.

However they can be organised with a group of interested employers, usually in the same industry and always in the same location(s).

We bring our expertise to partner with participating employers to design, project-manage, advertise and provide support on the cross-company programme.

This involves comprehensive A-Z support services:

  • Best practice consulting delivered through cross-employer webinars, supported with an Employer Toolkit and Guides
  • Full and detailed project management services
  • Designing and delivering a launch event
  • Co-promotion and attraction to our 8,000+ subscribed returner network and 8,000+ social media network
  • Assessment day co-ordination, support and facilitation
  • Induction day co-ordination, support and facilitation
  • Interviewer webinar on how to get the best out of returners in an interview
  • Line Manager webinar on how to support a returner through the transition back to work
  • Our unique Career Returners Coaching Programme providing tailored and proven psychological and practical support to returners through four half-day workshops delivered to the full cohort by highly experienced returner coaches.
