Please note our exciting news that Learning Technologies Group plc (LTG), the provider of services and software for digital learning and talent management, has acquired our firm.
We have been merged with Affirmity.
Affirmity, a US-based organisation headquartered in Irving, Texas that provides a robust portfolio of software, services, and training solutions that help customers minimise risk and experience the positive impacts of Affirmative Action and Diversity and Inclusion in the workforce. Drawing on more than 45 years of experience, its software and team of experts guide diversity, HR, and compliance teams to easily analyse diversity across the organisation, establish targets, identify gaps and insights into causes, and track progress over time.
Affirmity serves more than 1,100 organisations, including global corporations, mid-sized organisations, and small businesses.
Affirmity’s focus on workforce diversity metrics, benchmarking, and qualitative assessment enables organizations to understand their key issues with respect to Diversity and Inclusion, while PDT Global’s strategic consulting and online learning interventions will enable them to better address those issues at scale as part of a holistic, end-to-end solution.
The parts of PDT you know and love will continue including the responsiveness, challenging approach and also the wonderful team too. But this will mean we can offer end to end partnership including measurement and tracking of diversity numbers -combined with programmes such as Talent Velocity and Predictive Indicators – adding more power to training and an ability to pin point just where an intervention is best carried out.
PDT Global’s founders and management will play significant roles in leading the combined business.
Jonathan Satchell, Chief Executive of LTG, said: “I am delighted to announce our acquisition of PDT Global, which has an outstanding reputation as a trusted provider of high-quality learning solutions in the field. Not only does the combined proposition better enable us to meet the needs of our clients, it also provides the ideal platform from which to accelerate the expansion of our Affirmity business beyond North America to a broader international audience.”
Bruce Kile, Managing Director of Affirmity said: “As the U.S. leader in workforce compliance and diversity solutions, we are dedicated to helping customers establish a diverse workforce and inclusive culture so they can better compete in the marketplace. By combining Affirmity’s expertise in analysing diversity representation with benchmarks across the organisation with the global reach, consulting, and learning capabilities of PDT Global, Affirmity provides customers with a holistic, end-to-end solution.”
Angie Peacock CEO of PDT said “ This brings so much capability and rigour to our work. It means we can combine our powerful solutions with data – and we know those two things together make a difference to this important work. We are delighted to be part of the LTG organisation.”
