10-Step Diversity Assessment and Action Plan Workbook
Assess Recruitment, Selection and Retention Practices and Develop a Strategic Organizational Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Action Plan
This workbook is designed to provide organizations with a framework to understand and begin the process of strategic diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) work. It will take you step-by-step through a process to perform the intense and thorough work necessary to achieve systemic, sustainable change and become a truly diverse, inclusive and equitable organization.
It will guide you through a process to develop a DEI action plan that begins with an organizational assessment, followed by recommendations based on the assessment findings. It includes DEI goals, action steps to achieve those goals, and a format to assure accountability and measure outcomes.
The goal of a DEI action plan is to create an ongoing, sustainable program for developing and managing a diverse workforce that is inclusive and reflects the communities your organization serves. Your action plan should incorporate all areas of your organization involving DEI, including aspects from many different perspectives, such as:
- Your organization’s history
- Organizational components that affect the success of the organization
- Cultural makeup of the communities and individuals that your organization serves or desires to serve
- Diverse backgrounds of employees and job applicants
- National DEI trends
- Outside vendors/consultants that can assist with the process
There is no quick fix or cookie-cutter approach to accomplish organizational DEI. This workbook offers a process that will help your organization’s leadership reach their DEI goals, however, outcomes will depend on the effort and time put into mastering the material in this workbook, tailoring it to your organization, performing the assessment, and developing and implementing your action plan.
“Your emphasis on the process of change an organization goes through being the real work that needs to be done was very thought-provoking. The presentations and your Diversity Assessment and Action Plan Workbook provided companies at these sessions the tools and steps to do the important internal work to make themselves employers of choice for a diverse workforce for years to come. Thanks for doing this important work! You are clearly an industry leader in these areas, that many of us now realize is far too important to neglect any longer.”
