Measuring Inclusion: Higher profits and happier people

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is under fire, but attracting and retaining talent is more important than ever. This book introduces an entirely new approach to DEI, showing how and why measuring inclusion is the key for organizations to enjoy higher performance and greater employee satisfaction, without causing any backlash.

Measuring Inclusion offers step-by-step directions, sample data, and real-world case studies to help you make meaningful and sustainable improvements in employee recruitment, engagement, productivity, and retention.

You will learn to quantify, track, and estimate the financial ROI of your organization’s DEI efforts just as you do with every other business activity—and in the process make your organization more successful and increasingly welcoming for everyone.
