Culture Amp’s 2019 Workplace Diversity, Inclusion & Intersectionality Report which analysed the opinion of nearly 35,000 respondents worldwide and found there is a significant data deficit in respect of in-company D&I policies.
There is also little consistency at a global geographical level in how data around race, ethnicity, parenting status or disability are collected or measured. For example, European based-organisations dealing with varying language, terminology, and regulatory issues are less likely to be gathering the same breadth and depth of diversity data as US-based companies which face important diversity and inclusion issues as well but their sample set is somewhat more culturally homogenous. Company leaders on both continents are becoming more and more focused every year to the importance of understanding ways they can help narrow the gap.
