What are the benefits of this process?
Evidence suggests that:
- 42% of job seekers would like to work for a diverse and inclusive organisation
- High rates of inclusion and belonging equate to a 56% increase in job performance, a 50% decrease in turnover risk and a 75% reduction in sick days
- A clear statement of positivity about diversity makes under-represented groups perform better at a variety of tasks
As all of this evidence is embedded in Honordex framework, the tool allows to identify achievement and improvement areas within your organisation building a clear path to increase your company’s value of DEI externally. Making it clear how much you value DEI pays dividends.
How is the data analysed?
Honordex covers seven core categories: Explicit DEI Support, Inclusive Team, Working Conditions, Actions and Data, Leadership, portfolio DEI and Additional Public Information. Within these categories, there are a total of 28 inclusion and diversity submetrics.
