LS Technologies, a firm that provides aviation engineering, technical and professional services for Federal Government agencies, was looking to build its company culture and sense of inclusion for all employees. Based in Washington, DC with additional offices and staff based in various locations throughout North America.
In 2022, Peoplism partnered with LS Technologies to achieve their goal of building a more inclusive & equitable employee experience by empowering their managers with the necessary tools to both lead inclusive teams and provide equitable performance management.
Managers at LS Technologies took part in two workshops designed to give managers the practical skills they need to run more inclusive and equitable teams.
Combining the latest research on DEI training with hands-on practice and peer discussion, the workshops covered:
Inclusive Actions
What inclusion is and why it matters
Inclusive language
Avoiding inclusion mistakes
Running inclusive meetings
Undermining Bias in Performance Reviews
Undermining top biases in performance reviews
Relationship-building performance conversations
“The inclusive actions workshop made a topic that feels daunting and fraught with controversy feel approachable for all of our managers. The mix of research and activities brought it all together in ways that were immediately applicable for our team.
Rachel Wardley VP of Corporate Services, LS Technologies
After the final session managers reported:
91% understood cognitive bias in a new & insightful way
90% said they had gained tools to be a more inclusive manager
97% would recommend the training to another manager
In a follow-up survey measuring key indicators of inclusion & equity delivered after a performance review cycle, employees reported feeling more included by their managers:
6% increase - “I feel recognized for my ideas & contributions”
5% increase - “My manager actively seeks out my opinion on important matters”
9% increase in Black employees reporting they see themselves working at LST in two years
