The DiversityBarometer

The Diversity Management is based on the success of each company's management ability to at employees' diversities, differences and talents as resources that enables them to help increase innovation, creativity and competitiveness.

Business benefits

Diversity management can turn challenges into corporate business and competitive advantages. This may be done by implementing diversity scouting in the recruitment process. Standardized vacancy and recruitment procedures can be changed as companies embrace wider and attract new skills.

Diversity can also be established by incorporating the ideas into each company's culture and values. The process of creating a new set of values based on diversity, should include the employees. It gives all employees the opportunity to identify with the new common values as well as contribute to the future workplace of him or herself. This enables co-ownership of the values, thus sustaining the buy-in on a longer term.

Creativity creates opportunities for innovation and new ideas

To quantify the diversity of businesses and organizations Benja has launched The FutureTalent Diversity Barometer; an instrument for TalentTunings clients, executive and corporate management, non-profit organizations as well as the individuals.

The DiversityBarometer is rapidly taking the temperature (or pressure) of how spacious the business unit or group is, and can also be used in connection with a series of tasks and activities that are intended to influence attitudes towards diversity.

Numerous companies have already started with diversified personnel policies, equality and diversity strategies and employee records.

Alas, small and midsize companies are often without the sufficient infrastructure to achieve such an elaborate process.

Enter DiversityBarometer!

On this basis the tool arose that does not require many resources from the user and enables the company to conduct a self-assessment, that can lead to the formation of further diversity work.

However, the DiversityBarometer is not only be a tool for businesses. The barometer can also be a useful tool for the individual employee with a background in either minority culture or perhaps even expats, as it indicates where on the diversity scale the workplace enterprise is. This leads to further understanding and serves as a preemptive system to avoid conflicts and misunderstandings.

DiversityBarometer serves three primary purposes

  • It provides  information to management about how roomy and spacious the company as well as managent it is likely to be. This goes for ethnic minorities as well as people who may have a disability.
  • The Barometer can also provide information to the company, to see - if it so wishes - how inclusive and diverse the company is. A workplace where there is room and respect for diversity - or perhaps a company in need of some guidance in this field.
  • Finally the Barometer serves as a good opportunity to ensure that staff are informed of the  diversity temperature in their workplace and that employees here can actively discuss diversity.
