Global Diversity and Inclusion Benchmarks cover
(Download the 1.2mb Adobe® Acrobat® .pdf)

(April 20, 2007) - Global Diversity and Inclusion Benchmarks, a free tool for helping organizations assess and measure their progress in valuing and managing diversity and fostering inclusion, has been launched. Results from early users indicate that the 14 benchmark categories derived from expert input worldwide are on target and valuable to organizations.

Initial responses from users are:

"serves as a useful measurement and baseline for our progress,"

"assists with our global diversity strategy,"

"helps me make the case for diversity work,"

"excellent tool."

Although conditions and attitudes vary greatly worldwide, authors Julie O'Mara and Alan Richter, and a 47-person expert panel, have identified these benchmarks as globally applicable. The best practices are shown as 100 percent descriptions. For each category, the benchmarks are divided into five levels that indicate progress toward the best practices in that category - from 0 percent (where no work has begun) to 25, then 50, then 75 percent and on to the best practices at 100 percent. The categories include: Leadership and Accountability, Work Schedules, Measurement, Research and Assessment, Recruitment, Staffing and Advancement, Diversity Communications, etc.

Global Diversity and Inclusion Benchmarks is based on groundbreaking research conducted by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in the early 1990s. O'Mara and Richter found this early work helpful in their consulting practices and set out to update these benchmarks with current worldwide best practices and make this a global tool, usable anywhere in the world.

The resulting Global Diversity and Inclusion Benchmarks tool is a downloadable booklet provided free of charge with the provision that the copyright is always respected and acknowledged. It is available by emailing Julie@omaraassoc.com or alanrichter@qedconsulting.com
