In practice

Inclusive teams deliver stronger outcomes.

We bring the same commitment to inclusion into client work: creating space for different perspectives, building psychological safety, and designing change so it works for the whole workforce.

That mindset shows up in how we facilitate, how we coach leaders, and how we help organizations navigate complex transformations.

Diversity

We actively seek and celebrate differences in background, experience, identity, and perspective across our team and networks.

Equity

We are committed to fair treatment, access, and opportunity, recognizing that equitable outcomes sometimes require different levels of support.

Inclusion

We create environments where all people feel valued, heard, and empowered to contribute fully, at Toba and in every client organization we support.

Our commitments

01

Inclusive Hiring Practices

We pursue diverse candidate pools and evaluate every candidate on merit, skills, and values alignment, without bias toward any protected characteristic.

02

Equitable Opportunity

All team members receive equal access to development opportunities, mentoring, and advancement pathways regardless of background, identity, or status.

03

DEI Integration in Our Work

We integrate DEI considerations into the programs and change initiatives we lead, helping clients build more inclusive organizations from the inside out.

04

Continuous Learning

We invest in ongoing DEI education for our team, challenging ourselves to grow in awareness, empathy, and capability.

05

Zero Tolerance for Discrimination

We maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy for discrimination, harassment, and bias in all forms. Everyone who works with or for Toba deserves to feel safe and respected.

DEI in our consulting work

Change that doesn’t work for everyone doesn’t really work at all.

Toba partners with Bridgett Harris, an experienced DEI consultant and OD practitioner based in St. Louis, MO, to support clients seeking to build more equitable and inclusive organizational cultures.

Our DEI-informed approach to change management ensures major transformations account for the diverse needs of all stakeholders, not just the majority.
