Circle of Inclusion

Inclusive culture is not built alone

Building a community through a structured membership program to foster Inclusion as an organizational capability

The Program

Two bedrocks. One powerful membership.

Community and Circle are the twin pillars of this program — working together to give organizations both the scale of a cross-industry network and the intimacy of a focused peer cohort.

Community: Learn, Inspire, and be Seen

A cross-industry collaboration where organizations meet their peers, learn from contrasting approaches, and add their voices to a collective movement that carries far greater weight than any single organization could alone.

  • Cross-industry learning forums and flagship events
  • Access to Avtar research, industry insights, and thought leadership
  • Brand and visibility signalling to talent, clients, and stakeholders
  • Collective advocacy platform amplifying inclusion priorities through unified credibility

Circle: Act, Solve, and Grow

Specialised working groups, intimate and focused gatherings of peers who share a role, a function, or an industry — CEO Circle, CHRO Circle, DEI Leads Circle and leaders tackling real culture and inclusion challenges together.

  • Peer cohorts who share your context
  • Deep-dive problem-solving sessions
  • Role-specific tools and frameworks
  • Confidential, candid dialogue
  • Industry-specific DEI solutions

Readiness Check

Is your organization ready?

The Circle of Inclusive Culture is for organizations ready to move beyond intent. Ask yourself:

  • Do our C-suite leaders treat inclusion as a business-critical priority?
  • Are we willing to share challenges honestly — not just successes?
  • Do we have the organizational commitment to engage consistently?
  • Are we ready to learn from peers and hold ourselves accountable to real progress?
  • Do we want our inclusion commitment visible to the market?
