Our Story
Embark on a journey with Diversity Focus, led by visionary founder Elizabeth Lang, as we foster more diverse, equitable and inclusive workplaces through research, consulting, and training.
Diversity Focus emerged from a passionate vision to reshape our world into one that champions justice, equity, and inclusion. With one in two Australians either born overseas or having roots abroad, Australia stands as a beacon of cultural diversity. Yet, this rich tapestry isn’t always reflected in our workplaces, particularly at senior levels where a noticeable lack of diversity persists.
Founded by Elizabeth Lang, a visionary social entrepreneur dedicated to fostering inclusive cultures, Diversity Focus stands as a testament to the belief that transformative change begins with dialogue and consciousness-raising. Elizabeth’s journey, shaped by diverse cultural experiences and a professional background spanning community development, academic teaching, and qualitative research, serves as the cornerstone of our mission.
At Diversity Focus, we are committed to empowering workplaces to embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) wholeheartedly. Our approach combines research, strategic consulting, impactful and tailored training to address specific cultural gaps while leveraging strengths and opportunities.
Through our research and development services, we identify critical metrics for optimising diversity and inclusion, ensuring initiatives are tailored to address workplace realities. Our consulting services align company policies and practices with DEI best practices, fostering strategic alignment and relevance. Utilising our research-backed Benchmark survey, we provide direction, goals, and actionable initiatives to support inclusive workforce cultures.
