Every organisation has a unique path to genuine inclusion. Anchor + Flow was founded on the belief that creating truly inclusive workplaces requires both stable foundations and the flexibility to evolve.
We partner with organisations to create environments where inclusion is not a policy, but a practice. Through culture-first strategies that address equity, belonging, and systemic change, we help you build workplaces where everyone can bring their whole selves to work.

Every organisation's inclusive culture journey is unique, which is why we meet you where you are - helping you keep your efforts rooted in authenticity whilst always embracing change.
True inclusion isn't a checkbox or policy - it's a practice that's woven into how we work, lead, and grow together.
Creating lasting change requires strong foundations and the courage to evolve.

We conducted an inclusive communications audit for a global health research foundation. The goal of the project was to evaluate the effectiveness of previously implemented inclusive communication principles and set a path for future progress.
Working closely with the corporate affairs team, we conducted a comprehensive assessment that included reviewing external and internal organisational materials, as well as over 20 interviews and focus groups with employees.
Following the assessment, we delivered a report highlighting key findings and recommendations to better align the programme with the organisation's values and mission. We also developed tailored guidance materials to help employees communicate inclusively with global partners across the US, UK, Kenya, India and other locations.
We worked with a high-growth hospitality tech brand to deliver a series of DEI training sessions for its senior leadership team.
Despite having a strong workplace culture with an articulated employee value proposition, the company lacked a formal DEI training programme to reinforce and enhance its workplace culture.
We created and delivered a series of tailored DEI training sessions, equipping the team with the knowledge and confidence to effectively implement and contribute to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. These sessions covered a range of crucial topics, including the power of inclusive language, unpacking privilege, and embracing discomfort.
While we lead with culture and inclusion in our positioning, equity remains at the heart of everything we do. We believe sustainable workplace transformation requires addressing power dynamics, systemic barriers, and structural inequities head-on.
Our culture-first approach means:
We centre those experiencing harm first in our listening sessions and recommendations
We name bias and discrimination when we see them, not euphemise them away
We challenge "nice" cultures that prioritise comfort over meaningful change
We measure impact through both culture outcomes (retention, psychological safety, innovation) and equity metrics (representation, pay gaps, progression)
If you're looking for a partner who will help you build genuine inclusion—not just the appearance of it—we should talk.
She is great at setting context and providing enough information to help guide conversation and allow for deep conversation amongst participants.
On top of that, her workshops are engaging and incredibly interesting! Whether it's a group of senior executives or someone just starting out, she can navigate any audience and situation with grace.
Her guidance is practical, contextual and adaptable for the specific organisation she is working with and clear that the workshop is only the beginning and that change takes time. I would 100% work with her again, and she is my go-to person for anything DEIB!
