Founded upon our extensive body of research, networks, benchmarks and interaction with organisations throughout the region, Community Business has developed the expertise to support businesses at any stage in their journey toward greater D&I across Asia

Consulting

We work with organisations of all sizes, across different industries, to offer a range of consultancy, training programmes, practice guidance, market advice and support to address all aspects of creating responsible and inclusive business. Through a flexible approach to each organisation’s individual needs, we seek to support your goals through a variety of approaches and solution that address the needs of your business, audience and objectives.

Our skilled and experienced Consulting team is available to support and guide business and practitioners alike, regardless of whether they are novices in the field, companies seeking to begin a D&I journey, or those more experienced that are looking to identify a competitive edge or best practice to accelerate them further.

Through our consultancy services, Community Business can support and guide businesses in the review of their progress or readiness through our frameworks and benchmarks, as well as guiding and supporting executive or Diversity & Inclusion teams to frame overall strategies and programmes for business and culture improvement.

Training

Leveraging the access we have to best practices, leading practitioners and market insights, Community Business provides training solutions to businesses throughout Asia, addressing the needs of those starting their journey who want information and guidance, to more mature organisations and individuals who seek to grow skills or develop their culture.

Our training offering can respond to the needs of business for short lunch & learn information events, through to speaker & expert panels and full half or multi-day workshops to build skills. Experienced at engaging across a business, we can interact with audiences ranging from the C-Suite to the frontline, from the back room to the sales room.

The training we offer is typically tailored to the needs of our client, as it is important to respond to the culture and situation of each business individually, yet typical deliveries include topics such as:

• Understanding Diversity & Inclusion in Asia
• Promoting Gender Diversity
• Creating LGBTI+ Inclusion
• Building Disability Confidence

She lent a personal touch by sharing some of her own experiences which encouraged others in the audience to share their stories too. Overall, it was a very engaging and relatable session and we look forward to working with Community Business again.

We partnered with Florence and Kate of Community Business on a Cultural Acumen series: a bespoke cultural-deep dive presentation series for our employees. With their help and expertise, we choose five countries in Asia to present and showcase focusing on local customs, behaviors, and communication styles that helped us gain a better sense and understanding of that culture. Presentations were delivered by Kate and Florence in a WebEx format with accompanying slides that our employees could participate in from all of our offices. The series was wildly popular with our ERG members globally and inspired inquisitive conversations around cultural context and embracing difference.
