Collecting workplace demographics is important for several reasons. Here are some key reasons why:
- Make data-driven decisions | Workplace demographics can provide valuable data that organizations can use to make data-driven decisions about diversity and inclusion initiatives.
- Identify diversity gaps | Workplace demographics can provide information about the diversity of an organization's workforce, such as the gender, race, ethnicity, age, disability status, and other characteristics of employees. This information can help organizations identify diversity gaps and take steps to address them.
- Ensure fairness | Collecting workplace demographics can help organizations ensure that their employment practices are fair and equitable.
- Monitor progress | Collecting workplace demographics over time can help organizations track their progress in creating a more diverse and inclusive workplace. By comparing data over time, organizations can identify whether they are making progress toward their diversity and inclusion goals.
Collecting and assessing employee sentiments of inclusion is important because it provides organizations with valuable insights into how their employees feel about their workplace and the company culture.
- Improves employee engagement | When employees feel included and valued, they are more likely to be engaged and committed to their work. By collecting and assessing employee sentiments of inclusion, organizations can identify areas where they need to improve to create a more inclusive workplace, which can lead to higher levels of employee engagement and retention.
- Enhances diversity and inclusion efforts | Collecting and assessing employee sentiments of inclusion can help organizations identify where they need to focus their diversity and inclusion efforts. By analyzing the data, organizations can determine the root causes of any inclusion issues and develop targeted strategies to address them.
- Demonstrates commitment to inclusion | Collecting and assessing employee sentiments of inclusion sends a message to employees that the organization is committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and supported.

Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI)
Cultural competence refers to the ability to understand, appreciate, and effectively interact with people from different cultures, backgrounds, and experiences. It involves developing knowledge and skills that allow individuals and organizations to effectively navigate cultural differences and communicate with people from diverse backgrounds.
Cultural competence involves being aware of one's own cultural biases and assumptions, and understanding how they may influence interactions with others. It also requires a willingness to learn about and respect different cultural norms and practices, and to adapt one's behaviour and communication style accordingly.
Cultural competence is increasingly recognized as a key skill in a globalized and diverse world, particularly in professions such as healthcare, education, social work, and business where interactions with people from different cultures are common. It is important for promoting equity and inclusion, reducing discrimination and bias, and improving outcomes for individuals and communities.
Leaders who understand cultural competence are better equipped to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, communicate effectively, attract top talent, drive innovation, and succeed in a globalized world.
- Diversity and Inclusion | Leaders who understand cultural competence can foster a more diverse and inclusive workplace, where employees feel valued and supported regardless of their background.
