Small Business LEAPS Case Study

Join the Kim Center for Social Balance and our Economic Development team and explore innovative and equitable employer practices where diverse workers feel heard, seen, respected, and safe. The Kim Center for Social Balance (Kim Center) will join business owners during a 5-phase case study:

Phase 1: Build the cohort.

Phase 2: Conduct a group LEAPS Assessment and report on aggregate findings.

Phase 3: Co-design a group LEAPS Playbook on how to address the cohort’s top challenges.

Phase 4: Conduct core activities to put the cohort’s LEAPS Playbook into practice.

Phase 5: Readminister the group LEAPS Assessment, adjust Playbook goals as needed, and award LEAPS Accreditations to cohort members.

The City Heights LEAPS case study will help employers thrive by building environments where diverse workers feel heard, seen, respected, and safe. Such employers have better talent attraction and retention, more productive workers, more stable leadership, and greater long-term sustainability than those that don’t.
