About Roman Ruzbacky & Associates
Our consultancy in Melbourne offers services across Australia to help you achieve your Diversity, Equity and Inclusion vision. We work with people and organisations who are serious about their DEI practice and embedding DEI in their DNA as it is critical to their success and sustainability.
Being active on evidence-based DEI methodologies, we help you build trust, competency to positively impact your people and business and drive innovation. We are not afraid to do things differently, to ensure that diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging is a lived and breathed experience. We incorporate lived experience, gender equity and intersectional principles in our work. We provide a personalised and accessible level of service, teaching you what we know, so you can do the work independently and with confidence.
At the core of our work is the belief that people should be treated with dignity and respect, and have the ability to participate in all aspects of work and public life so that they can reach their full potential.
