Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Benchmarking

Increase your representation of key groups and make an impactful change to your business.

Analyse and compare your DE&I benchmarking strategies with industry leaders and evaluate how this could impact staff attraction or retention rates.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Benchmarking

Improving DE&I throughout their organisation is on every HR leader’s agenda, yet many are frustrated at the lack of progress, often caused by low attraction or retention rates in key groups.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion benchmarking and analysis helps HR and talent acquisition leaders discover where their strategy isn’t performing and which companies have leading DE&I practices. As a result of this research, HR and talent acquisition teams can develop practical solutions to meet targets, ensuring that their employer brand resonates effectively with the talent it is trying to reach and that any remedial action is the right action. DE&I benchmarking can also bring back key population data - where is the diverse talent I need located and how prevalent is it. This plays an important part in educating the business, managing expectations and where a business has set itself targets, can ensure these are realistic.
