Convergent

Who we are

We work at the intersection of culture and actual business risk. Risks that most EDI consultants won't touch and employment lawyers can quantify but can't fix. The sharp-end problems solved without resorting to dogma and ideology.

What we do

We help:

- remind your people that they are all protected from discrimination and harassment at work - especially if they are disillusioned because of the global EDI pushback - through workshops and online modules

- prepare you for sexual harassment (and harassment) duties under the new preventative duty, with higher awards and uncapped whistleblowing fines

- you with religion and belief conflicts that split teams and expose organisations

- with managing competing protected characteristics - where one person's rights run directly into another's, and there's no safe answer on a slide deck.

Who we work with:

- HR Directors, Heads of People, and senior leadership

- Organisations with 150 - 1000 employees where a single mishandled complaint becomes a tribunal, a front page disaster, or both

We help organisations build EDI that's legally defensible, operationally embedded, and politically survivable. Not the kind that survives a board presentation. The kind that survives a cross-examination.

If your organisation is navigating the cultural pushback against EDI, the new sexual harassment duty, managing religion and belief tensions, or working out what to do when protected characteristics compete - that's where we work.

What we've done

"We engaged Convergent to deliver prevention of sexual harassment training for our leadership team, facilitated by Heeral. While there was some initial scepticism around the value of this type of training, Heeral quickly established credibility and created an environment that was engaging, thoughtful, and highly relevant to our organisation.

Her delivery style - clear, calm, and appropriately firm - helped translate legislation and expectations into practical, relatable insights. The session prompted genuine reflection, and by the end, the team had developed a renewed sense of urgency and a much deeper appreciation of why this topic matters.

What stood out most was the shift in perspective across the group. Attendees came away not only engaged, but genuinely grateful for the session and the clarity it provided. The conversation continued well beyond the training itself, ultimately leading to a decision to roll this out more widely across our management population.

Heeral’s expertise and approach made a meaningful impact, and we would highly recommend both her and Convergent." - Shelley Davison, People Operations Director at Triple Point
