Organizational Assessment
Every organization is at a different stage in its diversity, equity, and inclusion journey. Conducting an environmental scan or assessment is the first step to understanding where your organization stands and allows us to identify growth opportunities and provide valuable insights into your current practices, policies, and culture. With a clear understanding of these areas, we help you develop a roadmap to drive meaningful, long-term change.
What is an Organizational Assessment?
An organizational assessment is a systematic evaluation of your company’s DEI efforts. It includes reviewing your policies, culture, employee engagement, and leadership practices to determine how well they align with your DEI goals. This process helps identify gaps, opportunities for improvement, and areas where systemic inequities may be present. Assessments are critical for building a roadmap to achieve an inclusive workplace where everyone can succeed.
Why It Matters
Without an accurate assessment, we can risk overlooking the deeper structural issues that contribute to inequity. Superficial DEI initiatives often fail to produce lasting change because they don't address the root causes of exclusion. A thorough organizational assessment allows you to pinpoint specific challenges and tailor your strategy accordingly. This leads to more targeted, effective initiatives that improve employee morale, foster inclusion, and drive innovation.
