Why Measure Diversity?
We believe that everyone should be comfortable in bringing their ‘whole self’ to work. An individual should not feel compelled to ‘hide’ their identities, whether it be their accent, gender or religion (or lack thereof), for instance. How can collaboration genuinely take place if only ‘parts’ of you are contributing, or you are stuck behind a facade? To confidently and happily bring your whole self to work implies you’re in a space that values your whole self and fosters your difference. To feel reticent of being yourself at work will impact engagement, mental health, productivity, well-being and communication / collaboration.
Our survey, with its 50,000 fields of available data will show each and every participant that their identities and alignments and beliefs and statuses are noted, included, counted… seen. This will inspire them to bring their whole self to work, with confidence, and perhaps more importantly, inspire their organisation to consider their diversity profile when thinking about their aspirations, programs and work. This is the very definition of ‘best-practice’ in our space.
By mapping an organisation’s workforce diversity profile, our customers will be able to better understand how to operationalise their diversity by creating opportunities for cross-cultural understanding and leveraging linguistic, cultural and demographic assets to enhance trust and communication.
Diversity Atlas will also improve business performance by developing truly inclusive policies that respond to real-time diversity profiles and incorporate workforce-driven feedback into organisational planning.
