Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) have become crucial priorities in today’s ever-changing business world.
DEI is seen as essential for progress and growth. It is recognised for its ability to spark innovation, nurture inclusive environments, and boost organisational success.
Let us delve deeper into the foundational principles of DEI:
- Diversity: At its core, diversity encompasses the rich tapestry of differences among individuals regarding race, gender, age, experiences, talents, skills, or perspectives.
- Equity: Equity in the workplace is about ensuring that all employees have equal access to opportunities, resources, and fair treatment, regardless of their background or characteristics. It entails valuing individuals based on their merits, skills, and contributions rather than their inherent traits.
- Inclusion: The concept of inclusion is central to DEI efforts. In this culture, every workforce member feels a genuine sense of belonging and is empowered to bring their authentic selves to work. Inclusive environments foster collaboration, creativity, and productivity, driving organisational success.
At UNLOQ, we support organisations and individuals in turning DEI ideology into concrete actions.
DEI solutions
DEI with UNLOQ manifests in actionable strategies and transformative solutions:
- Management and HR Support: We recognise that the success of DEI initiatives hinges on unwavering support from leadership. Thus, we advocate for active involvement and commitment from Management and Human Resources to drive meaningful change.
- Creating an Inclusive Environment: Our mission is to cultivate workplaces where everyone feels valued, respected, and included. Through targeted interventions and cultural initiatives, we strive to foster environments where diversity thrives and flourishes.
- Zero Discrimination Policy: Discrimination in any form has no place within organisations committed to DEI. We are steadfast in our commitment to upholding equal rights and fair treatment for all employees, regardless of their background or identity.
- Measuring Progress: To gauge the effectiveness of DEI initiatives, we emphasise the importance of regular assessment and measurement. Tracking progress and sharing best practices enable organisations to continuously improve and evolve their DEI efforts.
Our Methodology: Leveraging Evidence for Impact
At UNLOQ, we harness the power of evidence-based approaches to drive meaningful change.
By combining scientific insights with our clients’ contextual knowledge, we design tailored strategies that deliver tangible results.
At the heart of our approach is the practical application of the Accelerated Behaviour Change Model.
This framework, which we guide individuals and groups through, is designed to help them understand, practice, and internalise new behaviours in real-world settings.
This iterative learning process not only fosters sustainable change but also empowers individuals to make meaningful transformations in their professional lives.
In our coaching and leadership development programmes and interventions, we prioritise evidence-based design processes.
Recognising that a one-size-fits-all approach often falls short, we collaborate closely with clients to co-create personalised strategies aligned with their unique needs and organisational context.

Continue to professionalize and optimize
In addition to the continued development of our UNLOQ Campus coaching platform, we also accelerated the ISO 27001 certification process. This process had already started in 2019 and was aimed at improving our internal processes and increasing the security of customer information. Especially at a time when more and more work is done online and remotely, it is a challenge to ensure maximum confidentiality of information. Obtaining the ISO certificate is not easy; as an organization you have to comply with no less than 96 standards. In 2020, we secured our first certification. In 2023, we passed another 3-year audit which means we are now ISO 27001:2022 certified! This makes us one of the few (international) L&D organizations with this latest version of ISO 27001.
