    Fair observation. At the moment many organisations find it easy to box-tick on diversity, often at the expense of alienating those that are not ‘diverse’ (read white males). If we want progress, the conversation needs to be broadened to ensure that every employee (regardless of gender, age, ethnicity etc.) is included and having a framework that facilitates this, hopefully, is helpful.

    Interesting article. One of the biggest issues we face as an executive search firm when working with organisations is ensuring that we find diverse candidates. However, as the author points out for some organisations this literally means gender, ethnicity and disability without really understanding their current employee base. A lot of the work we do is to helping clients identity, attract, assess and develop senior leadership talent and in doing so address what they really need to achieve their goals and increase diversity.
