Diversity & Inclusiveness Audit™
Derive data for diversity and inclusion strategy
The Problem
You need to better understand the demographics and culture of your workforce, so that you can create a diverse and inclusive organisation.
Related challenges include:
- any audit can be a daunting project
- “diversity” can be a sensitive subject
- your business wants to gain diversity accreditation
- it’s hard to uncouple your own biases when reviewing the biases of the team that you are a part of
- audit data can quickly become unwieldy and distracting noise if not managed properly
- there is limited budget for external support and no time to instruct
- you lack the meaningful, objective data that you would need to make informed decisions
If only there was an easy to implement tool that you could use to generate clear and concise data about your legal department’s existing diversity profile.
