Empowering Diverse Talent

Empowering minoritised groups to influence their own progression, make the next move in their career, and overcome systemic barriers.

What we do

The Bloom Programme, tailored to your specific organisation’s needs, targets minoritised groups of staff to accelerate their development. We help your people to have the belief and capability to successfully navigate their career paths and drive forward your organisation’s inclusion agenda.

Is the Bloom programme right for your organisation?

You recognise the value that diversity brings your organisation.

You know the business benefits of diversity.

You have requirements to increase diversity percentages at all levels, but it can feel a like a slow and difficult journey.

You need greater diversity at senior levels, but know that glass ceilings are hard to break.

You believe people are your greatest asset, but recognise that many of your minoritised staff might not get the opportunity to fulfil their potential.

Your finances are stretched and resourcing is tough, so you know it’s crucial to make the most of your existing talent pools.

You need cultural change and commercial edge quickly and efficiently.

The Bloom Programme can be designed to enable large numbers of staff to take part, so offers great value for money.
At Orchard Development, we don’t just deliver a one-off programme. We work in partnership with you to ensure the programme is aligned with your people strategy so your resourcing, talent and development initiatives can be designed more effectively to bring about the long-lasting impact.
The programme works by bringing together people with similar lived experiences to learn and develop in a safe space, with the opportunity to network and develop outside of the sessions. Individual coaching sessions, with a qualified coach, are provided to each delegate to focus on their specific needs and aspirations.
