Implementation Advice and Workshops
Client Requests: Many clients find themselves with legacy initiatives that may have been helpful previously but are now out of line with current business strategy and operations. And others, realizing the extent of new investments or rollouts, want to ensure optimal supports are in place for success.
Diversity and inclusion is a strategic imperative at Broadridge. We have made great strides with our Women's Leadership Forum and we’re excited about our future plans. The insight provided by Catalyst has been valuable and has helped to accelerate our progress and results.

Once organizations have determined what needs to be done, we provide implementation guidance regarding strategic action for results. Our areas of expertise include change management and human capital processes and programs. There are many ways in which we can help those responsible for implementation: we share lessons learned from other successful companies, highlight and guide them through various choice points and their implications, identify critical success factors and simply act as an expert sounding board. We draw from this approach in addressing many of the areas of expertise. We can also develop workshops to educate your people about strategic changes and equip them to excel in their evolving roles.
Example:
A multinational high-tech company wanted to better leverage its ERGs, which had developed organically and lacked a unifying global framework. With the client, Catalyst reviewed both successes and challenges and developed appropriate objectives for the ERGs. Catalyst also helped the organization determine the appropriate global and local grants of authority that would empower employees to make a difference while supporting business strategies and goals.
Outcomes:
Understanding the importance of local ownership, the company provides annual areas of focus for its ERGs while encouraging regional offices to determine which activities best support their particular concerns. At the same time, the organization streamlined investments by assessing current budgetary allocations (for partnerships, associations, event fees, etc.) and where appropriate provided global memberships or licenses and equitable fixed sums for regional ERGs to spend however they determined would have a specific measurable impact. And finally, after careful review of award-winning practices and other business operations that were internally successful, the client appointed a global resource to oversee this effort who would increase the benefit of the ERGs to the business by providing them with direction, monitoring their activities, measuring success, and sharing successes among ERGs.
