EQiSpace

EQiSpace is an upstart consulting firm committed to workplace race and gender equity at all levels. EQiSpace does “HR” differently; our mission is to create opportunity, close race and gender wage gaps, and build wealth for nonwhite people while increasing productivity, innovation, and profitability for race and gender equity employers. We do this by building race and gender equitable workplaces from the ground-up. Decades of DEI Have Failed to Address Systemic Discrimination or Close Wage Gaps, Costing Employers Trillions The data is clear; decades of “DEI” programming have failed to address systemic racism and harassment, key evidence being the failure to achieve workplace equity and close wealth gaps. In 2020 alone, turnover and lost productivity from workplace racism and harassment cost employers trillions. Status Quo HR & Recruitment Agencies Benefit from Turnstile “Diversity Hire” Turnover EQiSpace’s conversations with HR recruiters and HR influencers dovetail with the data; most nonwhite professionals leave placements within a year owing to systemic racism, toxicity, and harassment. To maintain diversity optics, employers continue to recruit nonwhite people into racist and toxic workplaces, continue to have them quit within a year, and continue to lose trillions to turnover & lost productivity. Who gains from this turnstile DEI system? “Status quo” HR agencies and recruiters benefit immensely from diversity hire turnover placement fees and will not advance authentic racial equity owing to lucrative, revolving door staffing. Solution: Build Race and Gender Equitable Workplaces from the Ground-Up Trying to change toxic organizations from within doesn’t fix race and gender inequity, reduce systemic racism & harassment, or stop trillions in expensive turnover and lost productivity. Creating new race and gender equity centered organizations with a healthy work culture can.
