Harnessing HR Analytics for DEI: Boosting Inclusion in the Remote Work Era

Boosting Inclusion in the Remote Work Era

The remote work era presents unique challenges for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in the workplace. However, the right tools, such as HR analytics, can help companies navigate these challenges and create a more inclusive work environment.

Companies that trust in their DEI commitments have seen a substantial rise in employee engagement and a decrease in attrition rates. Employees’ expectations for businesses to uphold their values, including DEI, have also seen a significant increase. In a remote work context, these DEI commitments are even more critical to maintaining high levels of trust and engagement among employees.

Diversity at the workplace

Leadership teams are recognizing the benefits of fostering a diverse and inclusive work culture. A survey by Deloitte revealed that 85% of CEOs and 72% of boards of directors have set DEI-related goals, acknowledging its importance for their company’s growth and success.

Popular DEI initiatives among leadership include establishing Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), implementing mandatory diversity and inclusion training, and recruiting from underrepresented groups. However, a gap exists between the setting of these initiatives and their integration at all organizational levels.

Despite the progress made, only a fraction of CEOs and boards have set specific DEI-related goals for their leadership teams or their entire organizations. To close this gap, organizations need to measure and monitor their DEI performance consistently, and this is where HR analytics comes into play.

HR analytics can help companies measure the diversity of their workforce, monitor the progress of DEI initiatives and goals, identify patterns in employee engagement and turnover, and benchmark their DEI performance against industry standards.
