What We Do.
At The Seen & Heard Project®, we build infrastructure for organizational change and transform human behavior. We understand that inclusive cultures require more than good intention and policies. Our work, grounded in on the ground experience, research and behavioral science, helps us create cultures of belonging.
Our expertise is building the foundation to help your employees overcome the barriers that stand between where they are at this moment and their ability to live your values and lead from a place of inclusion authenticity, empathy, self-possession and drive.

Safe Space Reporting Mechanisms + Crisis Readiness
You've done the work of educating employees about your company values, policies, and expectations. But where do your employees go when something goes wrong? Research shows that when companies do not have established, trusted, safe-space reporting mechanisms, their next stop is their direct manager. If their concerns are ignored or poorly managed, employees are more likely to seek external resources for resolution. We have deep experience in developing confidential dispute resolution systems and in preparing people managers and HR professionals act as resources when your anti-harassment, discrimination, or ethics policies are violated.
