At Alignment Strategies we pride ourselves in:
Our work is supported by DITV [Diversity & Inclusion Television] an Alignment Strategies subsidiary that delivers impactful creative content to stimulate meaningful conversations related to DEI.
Alignment Strategies’ views DE&I as a business and organizational enabler. Thus, the end-result is not the diversity intervention or training, but how it moved the needle on Employee Engagement, which we define as “discretionary effort.”
Thus, we measure how enhanced Employee Engagement translates into key success indicators for our client, such as:
Our metrics isolate the mpact of DE&I drivers in contributing to those results.

With Diversity & Inclusion Television as part of our business portfolio, we are able to create videos to enhance the delivery of our interventions. Our interventions also support training an internal cadre of employees to deliver the materials to their internal teams. Upon completing the Train-the-Trainer process, they are able to cascade the training to the lower levels of the organization.
