Partnership overview
The American Society of Hematology (ASH) is the world's largest professional society concerned with the causes and treatments of blood diseases. Its membership includes scientists and clinicians from around the globe dedicated to furthering the understanding of hematology as a discipline and, improving patient care.
As part of their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts, ASH’s executive team required a partner to spearhead and lead the establishment of a DEI council and set the plan for the organization’s ongoing measurable and transformative goals. Specifically:
Work closely with the leadership team and the CHRO to ensure alignment across the organization.
Integrate DEI best practices for fostering an inclusive environment.
Tailor programs and training to the nuances of global Society members.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Impact Consulting . Thier tailored approach, deep understanding of diversity issues, and strategic insights have significantly contributed to our organization's journey toward creating a more diverse and equitable environment.“
