DEI Consulting That Drives Culture Change and Measurable Impact

According to Harvard Business Review, high-belonging cultures are linked to a 56% increase in job performance, a 50% drop in turnover risk, and a 75% reduction in sick days. For a 10,000-person company, that’s an annual savings of $52 million. But too often, organizations struggle to realize these benefits because their DEI efforts lack alignment, clarity, or staying power.

That’s where our DEI consulting comes in.

At ReFresh Communication, our DEI consulting is rooted in strategy, systems thinking, and deep cultural insight. We help you move beyond one-off training sessions and toward a sustained, organization-wide transformation. Through our DEI Alignment Mapping process, we partner with you to co-create a clear and actionable roadmap for building a more equitable, inclusive, high-trust workplace culture—one that aligns policy, practice, and purpose.

Whether you’re just starting your DEI journey or trying to rebuild trust after stalled efforts, our DEI consulting team helps you navigate the four most common barriers to progress: culture, ego, power, and stress. From executive coaching to stakeholder engagement and change management, we tailor each phase of our DEI consulting to fit your goals, pace, and capacity.

If you’re ready to build a culture where inclusion isn’t just a value—but a daily practice—we’re here to guide the way.

DEI Executive Consultant - Emily Braucher

“What truly sets Emily apart is her ability to push individuals and teams out of their comfort zones in a way that was both motivating and supportive. She made DEI relatable, grounding the work in real, actionable steps while encouraging us to reflect on our biases and assumptions. Through her guidance, our team was able to engage in vulnerable conversations that ultimately strengthened our psychological safety, camaraderie, and collaboration.”

“Emily’s experience and expertise left us with tangible takeaways on how to have more effective communication and collaboration across the RES organization. Her training sessions serves as valuable opportunities to think outside the box about the dynamics that affect our working environment and understand how to work better with others inside and outside of RES.”

“ReFresh effectively helped our clients learn to identify waste of resources when cultural context isn’t taken into account in addition to providing the framework and tools to function at the nexus of efficiency and effectiveness by addressing barriers to collaboration. I was personally impressed by her ability to create spaces for our clients to surface underlying tension within the group dynamic.”
