Get the most from your
HR programs

Perelaks helps companies and their leaders navigate the DEI landscape

Perelaks helps companies optimize HR programs to align people, culture and business goals and get the intended results.

We bridge the gap between HR talent strategy and actual results. Too often, HR teams lack the internal resources or expertise to effectively design and implement best-practice programs. Or, those programs fail to deliver the intended outcomes over time for various reasons. Perelaks provides a range of advisory support to help organizations identify gaps, optimize programs and help drive effective change management implementation.

Perelaks guiding principles for doing diversity equity and inclusion differently

Our guiding principles for getting the most from your HR programs:

  • Even when following best practices, HR programs and implementations can take many paths; every organization should identify the unique one that’s right for them.

  • Multiple types of data should inform HR program design and administration, not just measure the outcomes.

  • HR initiatives should be designed to create multiple avenues to successful participation.

  • Do fewer things, better; be practical about resources and the organization’s capacity to absorb change.

  • Organizational change usually requires behavior change; encourage new ones by teaching actionable skill sets.

  • Mitigate risk through proactive communication and change management.

  • Encourage productive debate — especially contrarian views, as hearing everyone out is critical to designing and implementing sustainable and successful HR programs.

  • Exploring diverse perspectives to articulate a shared vision for your people strategy.

    It’s no surprise many companies are struggling to define a clear, modern vision for their people and talent strategies—our workforce and workplaces have changed dramatically in recent years.

    Employees want more flexibility and opportunity and an improved workplace experience; shifting demographics are reshaping how employers must respond to stay competitive.

    Rapid advances in technology and growing economic pressures add even more complexity to the story.

    Perelaks helps companies define and articulate a clear, forward-looking vision for their people and talent programs.

    We bring stakeholders together to align on priorities and aspirations, ensuring the approach reflects the diversity of today’s workforce—across experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives.

    We also consider business goals, industry trends and key people metrics to ensure relevancy.

    Leveraging these inputs, we develop a vision and messaging that not only communicates these priorities effectively but also inspires both employees and leaders.

    Examples of the work we do:

    ✔ Create or refresh HR mission/vision statements and supporting message platform.

    ✔ Build HR/executive communication plans to more effectively communicate HR’s people strategy.

    ✔ Develop strategies for optimally positioning your company’s DEI strategy in today’s rapidly evolving corporate and social landscape.
