With professional development that employees look forward to, Mariana Strategies helps create and sustain inclusive, equitable, diverse and accessible workplaces.

We support businesses, non-profits, and government agencies who don’t just want to check a box for compliance requirements – they want to build strong and inclusive workplace cultures.

Compliance Isn’t Enough.

Get DEI Right For a Thriving Workplace.

Easy. Efficient. Customized for Your Organization.

  • DEI Training That Gets Done

    Live discussions, customized for your organization, are supported with flexible, ongoing learning in a combination proven to support retention. When employees look forward to the training, it gets done, and your team will build professional and DEI skills for a better workplace.

  • DEI Retreats, Support and Advice

    Our team of DEI experts helps ground and sustain your organization’s DEI efforts with services such as one-time strategy sessions, on-call support, fractional Chief Diversity Officer services, and DEI retreats.

  • Track Progress with Ongoing Measurement

    Our evidence-based assessments include employee surveys and listening sessions that measure baseline data so you can get a clear picture of your workplace culture. We use that benchmark data to create a tailored action plan and track progress as your organization evolves with reports that can be shared with your organization.

  • Easy and Flexible

    Our easy-to-use mobile and streaming programs are built not only to be customizable, but also to be flexible to fit your organization’s objectives and timing. We also offer multiple pricing options that can fit within per-employee or monthly budgets.

Activate Workplace Inclusion with Līve+ Learning

Dry, one-time workshops and boring training courses designed to check a compliance box aren’t going to create the lasting change your organization wants. Instead, you need flexible, customized, ongoing DEI training that creates and sustains change you can see.

With Līve+ Learning, activate a cultural shift in your organization by empowering individuals with the knowledge and skills they need for lasting change. We focus on what works so that you can create and sustain a better workplace with ease.

  • We offer content in 90 minute segments, which can make learning a new topic more retainable, especially when combined with these other elements of learning in the flow of work.

  • Research shows this is a powerful way to make changes stick, using quick reminders to keep ideas top of mind, encouraging learners to make use of new knowledge in application.

  • Another research-proven element of learning, reflection gives participants dedicated time to think about how their new DEI knowledge can be implemented in their work.

  • To know if your investment in learning is giving you desired returns, you need to measure growth, including pre- and post-learning quizzes, behavior changes and more, using the metrics that identify effectiveness.

  • People learn best when they’re able to connect with new knowledge to use. Just because we set up a training for three hours on a Tuesday doesn’t mean we have the need or capacity to connect right then.

Workers who feel respected are better performers
