Diversity Audit

Diversity audit is not a program; it is a process of systemic organizational change. No change effort will go far without some form of organizational diagnosis. A formal measurement of the organization’s current state is necessary, both as a guide for action planning and to set a baseline for assessing the diversity change initiative’s progress. Diversity audits are a way of examining a diversity strategy, a culture, systems, and procedures against a strategic analysis framework to identify which aspects are working well and which need to be examined in more detail.
