The Inclusivity Compass was developed as an efficient and accurate measure of inclusivity skills, designed to give users, teams, and organizations deep insights into their abilities to appreciate diverse perspectives, promote equitable treatment, and foster a sense of belonging. It defines inclusion as the active effort to build a welcoming culture that values the contributions of all individuals.
This assessment is particularly useful for enhancing workplace culture and aligning organizational practices with the principles of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are essential components of a healthy, productive, and innovative workplace. DEI initiatives contribute to a more dynamic and creative environment by bringing together varied perspectives and experiences. They also foster equity, ensuring fair treatment, access, and opportunity for all employees, while promoting a culture of respect and belonging.
The Inclusivity Compass emphasizes the importance of DEI by helping individuals and organizations identify where they may have blind spots. It encourages continuous improvement and awareness, guiding users to recognize unconscious biases and areas where their inclusivity practices can be strengthened.
Assessment scope
The Inclusivity Compass measures three skills:
Integrity: The commitment to ethical principles and honesty in interactions, ensuring trust and transparency.
Respect: The ability to value and consider different perspectives and backgrounds, fostering mutual understanding and cooperation.
Inclusiveness: The practice of actively engaging and involving diverse individuals, ensuring everyone feels valued and included.
In addition to these three dimensions, the Inclusivity Compass provides detailed insights into each individual's unique profile. This allows for a nuanced understanding of one's inclusivity skills and areas for development. Inclusive individuals are characterized by their openness to differences, acceptance of others, self-awareness, ability to break biases, and adaptability in their approach and style.
The Inclusivity Compass sets itself apart from other inclusivity assessments with its concise format, enabling users to complete the assessment in a short amount of time. The unique, conversational language enhances accessibility and provides an engaging user experience. Importantly, this user-friendly approach is delivered without compromising scientific reliability.
