About Harper Slade
You can find us at the intersection of the future of work, evolving race-based demographic trends, and macroeconomics.
Informed by our deep experiences in labor and employment law, strategic human capital management, adult learning principles, and global change management doctrines, we are motivated by the urgency of the demographics before us and the changing nature of work.
Strengthening multicultural workplace resilience is the cornerstone of engagement and workforce pipeline strategies henceforth. On this topic, we know what your people leaders must DO and BE in order to guide your company into the future.
We are distinct, having no competition that does what we do, with the credentials we have, and the approach we take.
We are thrilled to work with any employer desiring to deepen its commitment to (and understanding of) becoming a thriving multicultural workplace, we have a particular niche with financial services (large banks, CDFIs and financial advisory practices), the public sector, healthcare organizations, and law firms.
We Are Distinct in What We Do and Who We Are.
Everything…Everything we do at Harper Slade helps organizations prepare their workplace and their workforce for the demographic and psychographic shifts on the horizon. We must think very differently about who thrives, more naturally, in our workplaces, and under what circumstances. And let’s face it, most leaders, despite their best efforts, still collide in very clumsy ways with multicultural missteps that lead to workplace tension and frustration. Often times this leads to “tiptoeing” around each other versus working well and authentically with each other. The workforce of the future will hail from communities and cultures that most have little exposure to and erroneously presume their workplaces are fully ready for. We can help distinguish you as a great place to work for talent of color.
Working With Harper Slade, You Immediately Feel the Difference.
You will feel understood, supported, encouraged and…relieved. In us, you have a grace-centric partner and a knowledgeable and studious navigator, not just a “external consultant”. Guided by our desire to meet leaders where they are, and our infectious commitment to “teach” over “tell”, we invite you to “exhale” during your engagement with us as we work together to accelerate your productivity, impact and revenue and, as importantly, create the workplace that you and your employees (now and in the future) deserve.
Why Should You Work with Harper Slade?
Because we help create raving fans of your diverse employee base. In just about every organization, your talent of color tends to be the least engaged, the most disconnected, and the least likely to activate their full discretionary effort at work. When asked how they feel about their employer and how their employer feels about them, the most common response is the equivalent of a “shoulder shrug’. Not only do we turn that around for them and you, we help assure your leaders are confident and well prepared to lead well, in this evolving world.
