inclusive workplace design

Programs, policies, and audits that remove barriers, foster belonging, and help workplaces thrive.

​

I help organizations create workplaces that are equitable, safe, and built for people to succeed. From parental leave and domestic violence programs to participatory gender audits and custom policies, every initiative is grounded in anti-oppressive, trauma and violence-informed, and practical solutions—creating meaningful, lasting change.

SERVICES

parental leave programs

Policies that support all parents, beyond the basics

​

I design parental leave programs that reflect the full diversity of parenthood, including support for breast/chest-feeding, return-to-work planning, career progression during leave, all forms of pregnancy loss, and top-ups and benefits.

​

These policies are tailored to your workplace, helping employees feel supported while reducing barriers to retention, advancement, and inclusion.

discrimination, harassment & violence

Creating safe, inclusive workplaces free from harm

 

Workplaces thrive when everyone feels safe, respected, and supported. I help organizations create systems that prevent and address harassment, discrimination, and violence.

​

​

Offerings are tailored to your workplace and include:

​

  • Supportive reporting frameworks with clear roles and accountability

  • Guidance for managers and colleagues on responding effectively and compassionately

  • Integration of restorative practices to repair harm and rebuild trust

​

These programs complement interactive training sessions that equip workers with the skills to recognize and respond to harm, helping build a culture of safety, respect, and equity.

domestic violence

Coordinated support for workers facing intimate partner violence

​

Workplaces need clear, compassionate systems when employees experience domestic violence. Programs may include:

​

  • Communications campaigns to inform teams about support and boundaries

  • Risk assessments and safety planning tailored to individual circumstances

  • Training for managers and colleagues on how to respond effectively

  • Decision trees for urgent situations so everyone knows their role

​

These programs foster safety, clarity, and trust—helping workplaces respond proactively and laying the groundwork for accountability and restoration when harm occurs.

participatory gender audits (pga)

Intersectional audits that uncover risks and opportunities

​

Participatory Gender Audits are confidential, legally privileged, and intersectional. I bring legal expertise to ensure that findings are not just equitable but compliant with law, while my collaborator Josée Daris brings complementary expertise: 15 years of international practice, quadrilingual fluency, and deep work with Indigenous organizations.

​

PGAs go beyond generic “culture audits.” They examine how gender intersects with other identities, uncover systemic barriers, and provide actionable recommendations—giving organizations the confidence to implement change safely and meaningfully.

policies & programs that break down barriers

Custom policies & programs that foster inclusion and equity

​

Every workplace has unique needs. I work with employers to design policies and programs that remove barriers and support everyone. Examples include:

​

  • Debiased recruitment, review, and promotion strategies

  • Accessibility systems that ensure full participation

  • Flexible work arrangements without hidden barriers

  • Transition support for a safe, respectful, and affirming experience

  • Programs targeting intersectional drivers of wage gaps

  • Menopause programs that anticipate a diversity of needs without stigma

  • Pay equity maintenance and reporting

 

No matter the topic, I help convert policy ideas into frameworks that are practical, equitable, and beneficial for all employees.

Rika is a natural collaborator and working with her helped me to see my own work from new perspectives. It’s the best kind of work experience.

Let’s design a workplace that works for everyone.
