Measurements,
surveys
and reports

At ConnectingCultures, we conduct various types of inclusion measurements and diversity studies.

Below are 2 examples of the most common measurements (eller survey?) we conduct for our clients.

1. Diversity Diagnostics (Didi)

A comprehensive inclusion survey aimed at identifying which specific minority and employee groups that experience dissatisfaction, limited access to career development, non-inclusion, or outright exclusion or harassment.

2. Country-specific DE&I analysis & reports:

These provide our clients with a status on strengths and challenges in local markets. We advise on attention points for global companies looking to develop and implement diversity strategies in local markets outside the headquarters. Focus is on diversity parameters such as gender, LGBT+, ethnicity, age and life stages, physical and mental disabilities, religion, etc.

Our consultants have long experience conducting quantitative and qualitative surveys in organizations, both in research and on a consulting basis.

Advantages of using inclusion measurements to develop targeted DEI-strategies

• Increased performance and innovation in your organization. Studies show that diverse teams perform up to 30% better than non-diverse teams and can contribute up to 35% more innovation.
• Increased well-being, satisfaction, and better mental health among your employees.
• Fewer sick days, higher job satisfaction, and higher retention rates.
• Competitive advantages through broader market and customer knowledge.
• A stronger company culture where employees feel valued and respected.

It can seem overwhelming and complicated to start dealing with DEI in your organization. But it is definitely worth it. When diversity is actively included in an organization, there is much to gain, as described above: Higher degrees of innovation, enhanced performance, better retention rates, and greater job satisfaction among employees.

Next step

But how do you get started? An internal data-based survey can be a good way to start, instead of going forward without direction or following random trends. An inclusion measurement is about measuring your unique organization and employee composition, identifying strengths, challenges, and development potential.

The goal of our inclusion measurement is to positively leverage the organization’s overall diversity. It requires understanding where to focus efforts to include employee groups and individuals. And that is exactly what an inclusion measurement can do. Leveraging employee diversity allows organizations to discover new methods for enhancing competitiveness and well-being.

Demographics that we can measure on to understand different groups perceptions of inclusion and exclusion.

Possible diversity factors we can measure:

• Cultural diversity
• Nationalities
• Age and life stages
• Seniority
• Neurodiversity
• Ethnicity
• Religion
• Sexual orientation
• Gender
• Educational background
• Social background
• Language diversity
• Professional background
• other diversity factors relevant in your organisation

At ConnectingCultures we always work with DEI from an intersectional perspective. Intersectionality refers to how having multiple (minority) identities together can result in particular experiences of non-inclusion. Rather than focusing solely on one diversity factor, an intersectional analysis can bring new perspectives and better reflect the inclusion challenges some employees may face.
