Harmony

Building inclusive workplace

Harmony has been a recognized leader in facilitating workplace solutions for client organizations for more than twenty years. Hundreds of companies benefit from Harmony’s unique ability to analyze workplace culture and recommend actions that increase efficiency, productivity, and loyalty through employee engagement and satisfaction.

Harmony assists organizations in building inclusive organizational structures. The process is intended to develop attitudes, behaviors and systems so organizations can better adapt to new challenges and opportunities.

Harmony’s expert team of consultants works with management to diagnose organizational culture. Together they create a planned effort, organization wide, to increase effectiveness. Plans may include deliberate interventions, organizational reflection, strategic planning, self-analysis, training, and system improvement.

Building inclusive community

Harmony provides many non profit, government and community agencies with the education, resources and support to become fully inclusive and culturally competent. Harmony consultants work with organizational and community leaders to develop and implement plans for dealing effectively with diversity.

Because we live in a world of conflict and division, some of it age-old and deep-seated, communities are vulnerable. Lack of understanding can break down cohesiveness and threaten a community’s safety and well being. Harmony helps individuals and agencies communicate and coalesce across cultures. Mistrust and misunderstanding are repaired through intervention and mediation.

"The test of true 'community' is not its sighs of pity for its vulnerable citizens, but its acts of acceptance and inclusion."

Christina Hurr,
Superintendent for the Butler County, Ohio Board of MRDD
