The Financial Institution
Background
Following the merger of two medium-sized credit unions and the subsequent acquisition of a Community Bank, the organization experienced rapid growth, doubling its branch locations to 13 and increasing its total staff to 175. This expansion, while financially beneficial, led to a diverse and geographically spread workforce operating inconsistently across different branch offices, resulting in a chaotic day-to-day environment.
The Non-Profit School
Client Profile
A medium-sized non-profit organization facing challenges in adapting to the divisive and complex workplace dynamics of 2024. The organization required external expertise to navigate difficult conversations, review policies, and embed Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) values into its culture.
Challenge:
The client sought a comprehensive approach to address their evolving workplace needs, including policy changes, EEOC compliance, and fostering an inclusive culture. Lacking in-house expertise to manage these sensitive areas, the organization needed impartial guidance to implement empathetic and impactful solutions.
Solution Provided by BNX Business Advisors:
BNX was engaged as a consulting partner to lead the organization through a transformative process over a four-month period. Key initiatives included:
- EEOC Compliance Training:
BNX initiated a training program to bring the organization into full compliance with Equal Employment Opportunity regulations. The training aimed to empower staff with the knowledge needed to navigate workplace challenges within the framework of federal guidelines. - Campus Culture Study:
BNX conducted a comprehensive assessment of the organization’s workplace culture, including one-on-one interviews with employees. This allowed BNX to gain a holistic understanding of the current environment and identify areas for improvement. - Workshops and Exercises:
Through in-person and virtual sessions, BNX led workshops focusing on empathy-building, emotional intelligence, and conflict management. These sessions were designed to align employee behavior with the organization’s DEI values and policies.
