HR rewired is an innovative and award-winning HR advisory firm that provides support for anti-racism and racial equity assurance to public, private, and leading nonprofit organisations across various sectors and geographies including the UK, US, France, Namibia, Botswana, Brazil, South Africa, India and Australia. We work closely and quietly with executive boards, encompassing corporate affairs, investor relations, HR, DEI, communications, marketing, and risk departments, to help address social issues that are the least quantified, least understood and most uncomfortable. The intersection of equity, social, and workforce risks with Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) frameworks, sustainability regulations and evolving stakeholder expectations presents a transformative opportunity. Few advisory firms can navigate this as effectively as HR rewired. Based on how we have supported other organisations, we can help to:1. Assess your culture and operations and determine what may be causing disparities in experience, opportunities, and outcomes for different employee groups.2. Review your current initiatives and programs to assess progress, identify practices that may undermine effectiveness, and highlight opportunities for maximising impact and meeting your desired outcomes. 3. Operationalise your plan, engaging key stakeholders with the right messages at the right time with practical strategies to engage even the most reluctant among your managers and employees.4. Develop robust change management and accountability frameworks to avoid fragmented implementation and inconsistent results.5. Incorporate racial equity into your broader workforce HR and DEI strategies and reporting with suggested metrics and approaches that comply with sustainability regulations, future tender requirements and ESG disclosures.

The African Diaspora Economic Inclusion Foundation (ADEIF) was registered as a charity on 29th November, founded by bestselling author and Managing Director of HR rewired, Shereen Daniels. Our ground-breaking charity works to specifically address issues of economic inequality for members of the African Diaspora, in particular supporting and uplifting African heritage female entrepreneurs and business-owners. Through providing grants and hosting events, we provide both financial and non-financial support to help viable African Diasporic businesses to thrive. Lack of access to finance, funding and network are consistent challenges affecting women business owners. These issues are exacerbated for Black women who face exclusion because of both gender and race and ADEIF exists to help remove those barriers.
