Building Organizational Culture | Organizational in the Workplace

ChangeMantras conducts researches to assist organisations to facilitate culture building in organisations, strategic building, planning, project and intervention designs and to evaluate progress and impact. Our core areas of expertise are on gender, violence, migration and human trafficking.

We conduct researches on:

Organisational culture and gender: Every organisation aspires to create inclusive spaces, promote diversity in its workforce and build teams that can collectively build a culture of creativity, safety and valuing of differences. While this may be the aspiration, systems also must learn ways of celebrating diversity not just through inducting people of all genders and sexes, orientations and from different cultures, it must learn how to empower its people to work with differences, create a system of belongingness where everyone finds their space and experiences dignity and where masculinity and femininity find expression in policies, actions, relationships and in leadership. At a time where fear of transgressions and violations are often dealt through law and solutions are sought through the criminal justice systems, organisations are at threat of creating a culture of fear and anxiety, solutions are sought through arbitration – often unsuccessfully and creating lose-lose situations, ChangeMantras assists organisations to explore gender dynamics in the system at all levels. It helps leaders discover the connects and disconnects between espoused values on diversity and inclusion and values in action and assists the organisation to develop a pathway to achieve its aspired culture, for all, with all.

Migrations: ChangeMantras has an expertise in conducting researches on migrations – including displacement, forced migration, human trafficking (for forced labour, sexual exploitation and other forms of violence), assistance strategies for exploited migrants or trafficked people, effectiveness of law and policies that impact migrations and human trafficking. In India, Bangladesh and Nepal, we conduct researches in policy development and legal reform, for organisations to build strategies of assistance programmes for affected populations, on access to compensations, legal aid, trauma management and access to services for recovery and rehabilitation. We offer organisations and agencies proven tools and methodologies that help organise data and evidence, for advocacy, campaigns, awareness building and litigations.

Mental Health and Resilience: ChangeMantras has mental health professionals with expertise in conducting research on mental health and resilience building. These researches are useful for organisations who wish to strengthen access to recovery services for affected populations, that can be conducted in the grassroots without causing distress and secondary trauma, tools that are fit for affected people to participate and lead the research and organise data to create evidence on access to services, services required and strategies on building resilience of affected populations.

Evaluations, impact assessments: Particularly for projects on migrations, human trafficking and mental health, ChangeMantras conducts one off and long term MEL consultancies to assist organisations strengthen project designs and build capability of management and implementing teams.
