Global Diversity and Inclusion Benchmarks: Standards for Organizations Around the World By Julie O’Mara, Alan Richter, and 95 Expert Panelists

GDIB

Helping to ensure that diversity and inclusion work is done at the highest quality level possible

If you want a quick fix, GDIB is not for you.

The GDIB is Comprehensive “The Diversity Collegium is particularly pleased to sponsor the GDIB because it explains what creating inclusive systems and managing diversity entails. We appreciate that the GDIB represents the best thinking of 95 experts around the world. ” “Extremely significant is that it is free for anyone to use. ”

GDIB Sponsor: The Diversity Collegium Think Tank of practitioners, scholars, and leaders Mission: To advance the field of D&I through dialogues, symposia, research, and publications.

Effective D&I work is achievable when ü it is strategic, ü tied to the mission and goals of the organization, ü led with competence and care, and ü implemented in a sustainable manner. Lynda White Past-President of The Diversity Collegium footer text

We’re committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment that drives ideas and innovation, and will help us better meet the financial needs of our customers. Lorie Valle-Yañez, Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company Springfield, Massachusetts

We customized the GDIB for cultural, localized meanings. When D&I was first introduced in Japan several years ago, it was seen as a western concept. In fact, there is not a Japanese character for the word ‘inclusion. ’ The benchmarks accurately guided us when we broke ‘inclusion’ down into traits and other descriptive statements. Janelle Sasaki Executive Director of Diversity & Inclusion Services Ernst & Young Advisory Co. , Ltd. Tokyo, Japan

The practical steps and incremental nature of the GDIB provides a clear sense of where you are and where you want to be. Nene Molefi Managing Director Mandate Molefi Johannesburg, South Africa footer text

The GDIB spells out what good, better, and best work is. It readily frames where an organization can focus its capabilities. Ralph de Chabert Senior Vice-President Global Chief Diversity Officer Brown-Forman Corporation Louisville, Kentucky

The GDIB is a great tool to telescope from the macro to micro context when there are specific concerns or issues that must be reconciled. Cindi Love Executive Director American College Personnel Association Washington, DC footer text

The GDIB was created through a systematic and rigorous consensus of D&I experts. It was a yearlong research process where the viewpoints of a significantly diverse group of experts — many of whom approached D&I work in very different ways — came to agreement on the outcomes that are needed. Modeling both diversity and inclusion throughout this process reminded us that while this work can be challenging, it is also hugely rewarding. Duncan Smith Founder and Principal ADC Associates Melbourne, Australia

Diversity Definition The variety of differences and similarities/ dimensions among people, such as: Age Belief system Class/caste Culture Disability Education Ethnicity Gender identity Generation Geography Job role and function Language Marital status Mental health Nationality Native or indigenous origins Parental status Personality type Race Religion Sexual orientation Thinking style Work experience Work style

Inclusion Definition A dynamic state of operating in which diversity is leveraged to create a • fair, • healthy, and • high performing organization or community. An inclusive environment ensures equitable access to resources and opportunities for all. It also enables individuals and groups to feel safe, respected, engaged, motivated, and valued for who they are and for their contributions toward organizational societal goals.

Global Definition and Scope These Benchmarks apply to all organizations around the world. They are not limited to multinational organizations that work internationally. They are not specific to a country, culture, D&I approach, sector, industry, or size of organization.

A benchmark is: An organizational standard of performance, usually stated as an end result or outcome. Benchmarking helps people in organizations achieve high-quality results or aspirations.

Ultimate Goals of Diversity & Inclusion Create a Better World Improve Organizational Performance

Creating A Better World • Contribute to the greater good of society • Create a world which is fair and just and respectful of individuals and their similarities and differences • Create a world where everyone is able to sustain a high quality of life and enjoy peace and prosperity Globally, social justice underpins much of the D&I work being done in public policy and development initiatives. As well, there are many organizations firmly committed to doing what is right and ethical for all stakeholders.

Improving Organizational Performance A more immediate (and some would suggest more direct) outcome of D&I is to help improve organizational performance. This is commonly referred to as the business case or rationale. Each organization should develop its own business case or rationale for D&I.

Improving Organizational Performance A well-designed and well-executed D&I strategy can help an organization: • Achieve its organizational vision, mission, strategy and annual goals/objectives • Attract and retain diverse talent • Build strong and high-performing teams • Cultivate leaders who inspire inclusion and champion diversity

Improving Organizational Performance (continued) • Leverage an extensive range of backgrounds and skills to enhance creativity, innovation and problem solving • Increase engagement, motivation, and productivity • Improve the quality of work/life integration • Enhance the organization’s reputation/brand as an employer or provider of choice • Minimize risk/exposure and ensure compliance with legal requirements • Sustain an environment that treats people fairly

Who is Using the GDIB and What Does “Using” Mean? • Users in our lexicon are those who have signed the Permission Agreement. Truth is, we can’t keep track. • But, actually, GDIB is like a book in some ways. People read or skim it and learn from it, but they may not consider that action “using” it. • What we really want to do is acknowledge best practices… so we don’t care if they are a “user” or not… we want to use GDIB to influence higher levels of best practice.
