Building a strong DE&I strategy

Developing and implementing effective initiatives

Track gender pay gaps

Gender pay gap reports are compulsory for larger employers (those with 250+ employees).

Using HR software, employers can effortlessly monitor the rates of pay offered to all genders.
With easy-to-consume reports that allow for effective monitoring of rates of pay by gender, HR and senior leaders can keep track of any disparity in pay amongst their workers.

Monitor diversity

HR leaders can use software to monitor the diversity among their workforce.

HR software can help you to visualise the makeup of your employees and analyse this by department, team, site, pay, bonuses, performance and more.
Delving into your people data with laser-sharp focus can help to uncover new learnings and shed light on where there is room for improvement.

Document your DE&I strategy

The main steps of documenting your strategy

Analyse data.
Identify and outline areas you want to address.
Who are stakeholders and support groups.
Create an action plan.

Consider covering the following:

Talent Acquisition approach.
Training and development.
Fair recognition.
Pay parity.

Measure the impact

As with any HR initiative, tracking its impact is critical to making sure that said initiative is effective, while flagging where there may be room for improvement.

Regular reviews

As your project progresses, be sure to include regular reviews to check-in on progress.
This is especially important if you are launching initiatives remotely or across multiple geographies with different team members involved.

Regular surveys

If you ran a survey into the state of your company’s DE&I previously, run this again to gauge the impact of your initiative.
With these two datasets, you will be able to compare and contrast any changes since launching your strategy.

Remember the goal

Be sure to monitor your performance against your initial goals.
Whether you wanted to reduce your gender pay gap, improve diversity in your recruitment or have more women in senior roles; monitor whether you are on track to attain your objectives within your defined timeframe.
