in.harmony is a consultancy offering customized Diversity and Inclusion, Employee Wellness and Counseling solutions to Organisations, Institutions and Individuals
Our Program design goes through a process of -
• Diagnostic survey – to assess the current ‘feel’ state of the organization
• Analysis – breaking down the qualitative and quantitative data.
• Design – creating an intervention web.
• Implementation – execution to make the required difference applicable.
Just like every individual is different, so is every organization. Each organisation has its own unique culture and its own value proposition. Unique value proposition for its stakeholders; the way things get done, the approach in the marketplace and many other factors. Therefore, what works for one organization within a certain sector, may not be true for another one operating in the same sector.
in.harmony conducts an in-depth organization diagnostic study that helps us understand the finer nuances, the thinking processes and the culture of our clients. This further enables us to provide customized solutions that are relevant for them, rather than an umbrella that fits all.
The methodology that we use is through In-Sighting dialogues in the form of Focused Group Discussions as well as One on One Discussions with employees and senior leadership teams. Depending on the requirement, online surveys are also conducted.
An organization can effectively leverage its gender diversity only when the genders understand each other’s language, style of working and most importantly, the conditioning and expectations from each other. Becoming aware is the first step to a change in behavior taking place.
in.harmony designs customised interventions to help create awareness in the participants on issues relating to gender stereotypes and gender biases. They help participants understand the manifestations of these biases and stereotypes at the workplace and its impact.
The interventions address the different issues faced by supervisors as well as team members. On one hand, it helps the supervisors by ensuring that they are able to deal with diversity in their teams. On the other hand, for the employees, it highlights appropriate and inappropriate behavior.
Motherhood is one of the most joyous events in a woman’s life. However, it also brings with it, its own set of concerns and dilemmas for a woman who is keen on pursuing a career, like effectively balancing career and personal obligations and seamless integration of the responsibility of a new born into her current life style.
We, at in.harmony, recognize this dilemma and concern of a woman. In equal measure, we also recognize that a supervisor of a new and returning mother plays a critical role during this challenging phase. Besides being empathetic and providing support to the new mothers, they also have their own set of dilemmas and concerns on deliverables.
The Transition Notes are a series of handbooks created to address :
Written in a story book format, the Transition notes is an engaging way through which the organization can sensitize the women and their supervisors on how they can individually manage the phase of expectancy. This helps in creating a caring and inclusive workplace and also contributes to the retention of women employees in the organisation.
In addition, the transition notes address career concerns of women, especially at the mid management levels, usually the time when they would be requiring maternity leave.
We work with organisations to help them create harassment free workplaces.

Counseling is a process of helping people deal with problems which impact their life. Contrary to popular belief, counseling is not about offering advice on how you should live your life or dishing out ready-made solutions to problems.
A counselor acts as a guide to help individuals get in touch with their own potential to take charge of their lives and address their specific concerns. It is also a non- judgmental space where individuals can freely talk about their issues (without fear of being judged, criticized or ridiculed), which they might otherwise hesitate to share with their family or friends.
Some issues for which counseling can be sought:
in.harmony offers one on one counseling to individuals and corporates.
