How does a diversity consultancy stay vibrant after 20 years? ProGroup found the answer by continually chasing the future and breaking new ground.
It made complete sense to Minneapolis-based ProGroup to bring theater-learning into the workplace—an environment often rife with drama. "Participants feel empowered because the experience is interactive," says Myrna Marofsky, ProGroup's president. Theater is one of the many ways that ProGroup helps organizations create inclusive workplaces. With an experienced team, ProGroup looks at the human side of the business equation, partnering with organizations to reach their goals by empowering individuals to achieve in a supportive environment. ProGroup has the energy and agility to help companies get to the heart of their issues quickly and to build an action plan linked to bottom-line success.
"Our experience and expertise makes us a quick study, while at the same time, understanding that each company is unique—that's diversity, too," Marofsky explains.
Chasing the future for ProGroup means constant additions to an already comprehensive collection of programs, resources and tools to keep them relevant to today's businesses. Long known for high-impact custom training designs and engaging delivery, ProGroup has served some of the most presitious clients, such as Deloitte, General Mills, Abbott Laboratories, Target and Wells Fargo. Examples of ProGroup's wide menu of products:
Cultural Audits: ProGroup gathers and analyzes information to assess the corporate climate and uses its G.R.I.D.™ framework to determine effective actions and metrics.
Leadership Alignment: ProGroup creates a space for leaders to roll up their sleeves and wrestle with the issues that drive a diversity initiative forward.
Diversity Training: ProGroup's award-winning training programs, proprietary training tools, videos, elearning, innovative designs and top-quality facilitators have built its reputation as a leader in the area of diversity.
Management Skill-Building: ProGroup's Tools of Engagement™ embeds diversity and inclusion into skill-building to help managers leverage the talents of all employees.
Mentoring: ProGrams provide skills to broach dialogue across differences; ProGroup's web-based evaluation process provides an efficient way to measure success.
"One core value is that we practice what we teach," says Karen Stinson, ProGroup's CEO and founder. "We're a living lab."
