Diversity & Inclusion creates a better performing organization. For example, when inclusion is secured, teams with higher diversity make better decisions. At the same time, societal pressure on organizations to embrace and demonstrate diversity is increasing. Diversity in the workplace means that your organization consists of a mix of people of different gender, religion, orientation, ethnicity and age, for example. Inclusion – feeling valued part of the organization – is necessary to build and sustain such a diverse workplace.
How do you measure inclusion?
Diversity and inclusion work like communicating vessels: a more inclusive climate will create and sustain a diverse workforce. If your organization does not have an inclusive climate, people are more likely to leave – especially the very people who make your organization more diverse. Simply because not everyone feels really at home in an organization. We therefore measure in a Diversity & Inclusion Scan a combination of drivers that enable a more inclusive organization, such as:
- Organizational identification: Do personal norms and values match this of the organization?
- Perspective taking: Are team members able to put themselves in other team members’ shoes?
- Meaning-based leadership: Do executives connect the organization’s values to strategy?
- Employee voice: To what extent can employees express their ideas, opinions, suggestions and alternative views
pronounce?
- Psychological safety: Do people feel safe to be who they are in the presence of others?
The benefits of diversity & inclusion:
Scientific research shows that higher diversity and inclusion results in, among other things:
- More productive teams delivering higher quality output;
- Teams making better decisions;
- Teams that can better solve complex problems;
- Teams that are more innovative.
