CASE STUDIES
How do we measure impact? While our work helps clients achieve quantifiable goals, we also embrace the qualitative. Below’s a holistic snapshot of some of our partners' journeys, in their own words.

With diversity, inclusion, and belonging as an organizational priority, Okta partnered with Collective in early 2020 to provide engaging learning experiences to help employees move from good intentions to aligned action.
"As managers we need to work towards making people feel comfortable sharing and enabling them to realize that they can make mistakes and not be afraid."

When I addressed the whole team yesterday with the wording you all helped me craft… there were heads nodding and tears in eyes on that video. For hours afterwards, I received Slacks and notes from our team members who were most impacted thanking me, and the company for saying something… and for more importantly speaking what we believe out loud.

WHO GIVES A CRAP
WGAC is a values-driven toilet paper company with team members in the US, Australia, and Asia. While already rooted in impact and social change, in 2020, WGAC sought a DEI partner that could help them confront internal realities and show up in a more just way for society and for their company.
Collective stood out because we have teams across 5 different countries, each sees DEI from a different lens… We found a visionary founder who we really believed in, and an amazing team who took a custom approach… From my perspective I would definitely recommend Collective.

I really appreciated the unpacking of the common barriers to engaging in allyship, it helped open my eyes to see how some of the things that we see in the world as 'allyship' isn't truly effective, and how I can personally approach allyship in a way that is impactful and meaningful to those I'm looking to support.
