Top 4 Insights and Resources

 

DE&I has a variety of dimensions that will look different over time.

  • Reviewing the maturity model can help organizations gauge progress, set goals, and move towards an inclusive culture that drives business, talent, brand, and ESG efforts.

Check out the DE&I Maturity Model.

 

DE&I journeys are customized to each organization and what it needs.

  • Consider where your organization is at, and what’s driving the need for DE&I. Ask your employees and leaders why it’s important to them and what they need, too.

Check out Levi Strauss & Co.’s first ever Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Impact Report to see what DE&I looks like at their organization.

 

The outcome of diversity, equity, and inclusion is belonging.

  • Belonging ensures that employees can be their authentic selves at work and that they are welcomed and valued.

Look at the DE&I Idea Book to find ways you can define and measure belonging and its impact. You’ll also find opportunities to enhance and integrate other D&I talent strategies.

 

Bias audits can help you in the next step of your DE&I journey.

  • Bias auditing is key to developing structured and consistent policies that advance diversity, equity, and inclusion.
  • The series includes checklists for culture renovation, total rewards, learning and development, performance management, succession planning, and more.
