How to use the Inclusivity Compass

The Inclusivity Compass improves recruitment and onboarding by identifying candidates who align with an organization’s DEI values. Beyond assessing qualifications, it helps ensure that new hires contribute positively to a culture of inclusion, leading to smoother integration, higher satisfaction, and long-term success.

By assessing employees’ inclusivity skills, organizations can design and implement strategic DEI initiatives. These insights ensure that employees are placed in roles where their strengths can enhance inclusivity, supporting both personal development and the achievement of organizational DEI goals.

The Inclusivity Compass highlights areas where employees may have blind spots in their inclusivity skills. With this knowledge, organizations can design training programs that directly address these areas, making DEI professional development more focused, relevant, and effective.

Organizations can use the Inclusivity Compass to evaluate the inclusivity skills of current and emerging leaders. These insights allow leadership development programs to be tailored for equipping leaders to foster inclusive cultures. By doing so, organizations ensure that leaders act as role models, embedding inclusivity across teams and departments.

While the Inclusivity Compass is a powerful tool for enhancing organizational processes, it is essential to conduct local validity studies before using it for recruitment or selection decisions. Local validity ensures the tool is effective and fair in your specific context. Deeper Signals encourages organizations to reach out for guidance on conducting these studies and for support in leveraging the Inclusivity Compass to its full potential.
