DEI diagnostics: Navigate to strong foundations for your DEI strategy
Build a strong foundation for your DEI strategy
Our 2024 Global Talent Trends report reveals that only one in three executives feel confident in meeting their DEI commitments this year. This lack of confidence is unsurprising given that only 47% of global organisations have a multiyear, published DEI strategy with metrics in place to measure success.
The first step in designing a sustainable and relevant DEI strategy is to understand the current state of your organisation as a baseline from which to move forward. An evidence-based approach ensures measurement of the impact of the strategy and that you can move the dial in a positive direction over time.
