Hong Kong, February 2025 – Diverse Minds Limited, a neurodivergent-led organization that helps individuals and businesses leverage the benefits of neurodiversity, today announced a strategic partnership with Awkward Conversations, a Hong Kong-based Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) consultancy.
Through this collaboration, Diverse Minds and Awkward Conversations will pool their expertise and services to offer a broader range of consulting, training, and e-learning solutions to companies across the Asia Pacific region. The partnership aims to provide a one-stop, integrated approach to supporting businesses in their DEI journeys.
"We're thrilled to partner with Awkward Conversations and leverage their deep understanding of DEI within Asia Pacific to further expand our impact," says Diverse Minds CEO, Noelle Sinclair. "By combining our neurodiversity-focused expertise with Awkward Conversations' specialised DEI services, we can deliver even more comprehensive solutions to help organisations build more strategic and sustainable DEI programs."
"Our collaboration with Diverse Minds combines global insights with Asian perspectives, enabling us to better help our clients build and maintain diverse teams and create inclusive workplaces that excel in today's competitive landscape. Investing in an inclusive working environment maximises your most important asset—your people—leading to better innovation and creativity, enhanced career prospects, and reduced costs in areas such as hiring,” says Awkward Conversations founder, Emery Fung.
The first collaborative offering from Diverse Minds and Awkward Conversations will be a specialised e-learning course for HR, DEI professionals, and DEI volunteers. The course will cover the key principles of intersectionality and guide participants in designing and improving DEI programs, strategies, and policies to better support today's diverse workforce.
In addition to the e-learning course, the partnership will also offer a one-stop solution for companies seeking end-to-end DEI services, including strategy development, business case design, training, and support for a range of diversity needs.
