Summary. In an era where companies are paying more and more attention to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), inclusion remains the most difficult metric to track. From new research, Gartner developed the Gartner Inclusion Index to measure what true inclusion looks like across an organization. The authors outline how to use the Gartner Inclusion Index to measure employee perceptions of inclusion, what effective action looks like from leaders, and common pitfalls to avoid. There’s no doubt that in 2021 and beyond, companies will continue to devote more attention and resources to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Unfortunately, many organizations still struggle to measure the impact of their strategies and communicate that impact to a growing number of stakeholders. More than 1,600 CEOs have signed onto the While a recent Gartner survey reveals But inclusion, and a work environment where all people feel respected, accepted, supported and valued, allowing all employees to fully participate in decision-making processes and development opportunities within an organization, is even more of a challenge to measure. Most leaders understand that it is inclusion that unlocks the potential in a diverse workforce. But although organizations have found ways to successfully measure and track diversity, they haven’t been able to do the same for inclusion. This shortcoming has obstructed efforts to develop a unified and coherent metric that tracks Capturing Employee Perc...

Much has been written and researched of late about the importance of implementing and integrating diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) training and programs into organizations, to support the creation of equitable workplaces. But how well are these programs working? Are they actually going the distance to address and revise practices, behaviors and mindsets that encourage or allow bias, discrimination, In a new survey released this month from Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging: Uncovering What Employees are Offered, Want and Need , 62% of workers surveyed say Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEI&B) programs aren’t effective, and nearly half (46%) say the programs had failed them personally. The independent online survey sampled 2,000 adults working full time in the U.S. for organizations with 2,500 or more U.S.-based employees. DEI&B may include education and training, mental and emotional health support, mentoring, resources for gender identity and sexual health, and paid time off for volunteering. The issue cited by nearly half of employees is lack of accountability, i.e., public endorsement of DEI&B by CEOs is not matched by follow through. A majority (73%) said the job of promoting and implementing DEI&B should reside with managers or supervisors, rather than senior leaders, and only 16% said the task should be left to human resources departments. − Feeling a sense of belonging is the biggest concern. More than half (57%) of respondents cited “belonging...

Major companies such as Apple, Slack, Tesla, Google, and Netflix have committed publicly to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) statements and initiatives. These companies have the resources to invest in anything, so it’s telling that they have chosen to put their money and efforts into diversity and inclusion. In fact, DEI is so important at top companies that it’s become a key part of business. Google gathers one of the largest datasets about diversity and inclusion in their sector and they share it openly. Allan Thygesen, President of Google’s Americas & Global Partners, calls diversity at Google “ essential.” Netflix’s DEI strategy is closely linked to its company purpose: “ We create and connect stories to people all around the globe. In order to tell these wide-ranging stories and make them accessible everywhere, we need employees from different backgrounds and a culture that celebrates those differences.” About How Are Diversity & Inclusion Different? Diversity refers to representation within a leadership group, organization, community, or other population. For example, if a company has workers living with disability, men and women employees, team members who are part of the LGBTQ+ community, and people of various ages and backgrounds, it is diverse. Diversity alone is not enough, though. To retain a diverse group together, you also need inclusion. Inclusion means making sure all people within a space or organization feel valued and heard. It means everyone gets ...
