EMPLOYEE PERSPECTIVES
Creating an open and collaborative environment for discussing inclusion in the workplace can be challenging, but it's important to encourage employees to push past any discomfort and have these important conversations. This requires intentional planning and structure to ensure that all voices are heard, particularly when working with a remote or hybrid workforce. By fostering a culture of openness and inclusivity, organizations can create a more supportive and equitable environment for all.
GOAL-SETTING FRAMEWORK
Once you have identified your inclusion goals, the next step is to choose a goal-setting framework that will help you track and report on your progress, and can provide a structured process for keeping everyone focused and aligned while building trust through transparency. This is particularly important when working with a remote or hybrid workforce to ensure your efforts are well-organized and that everyone is working toward the same progress and objectives.
INDUSTRY BENCHMARKS
Based on our internal analysis and discussions with employees, it's cruicial to create inclusion goals to address gaps or areas of opportunity in your company. Your goals should be specific, measurable, and undertaken by individual leaders to ensure progress. You can also use inclusion benchmarks derived from third-party sources, which provide a helpful reference point and help you gauge your progress relative to other organizations in your sector. This way, you can make meaningful progress in advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion within your organization.
LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS
It's essential to create an action plan to achieve your goals, including the individuals responsible for each action, the specific actions to be taken, the timeline for completion, and a plan for communication. Implementing a leadership development program can be a key component of your action plan, as it can provide the skills and knowledge necessary for leaders to effectively promote inclusion within the organization, alongside numerous other benefits, such as improving employee engagement and retention, fostering a culture of continuous learning, and enhancing overall organizational performance.
YOU CAN
ACHIEVE THAT

As such, you need to have a quantifiable way of assessing your DEI goals. There are various DEI metrics you can choose to track, depending on what areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion you’re addressing.
