Description

Discussions about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are center stage in many organizations. This conversation is not new–it’s just that DEI is a topic on which attention ebbs and flows. When inequities and bad behavior risk or damage individual or organizational reputation, microscopic focus ensues. When things seem to rock along smoothly, focus moves elsewhere. Organization leaders pledge hundreds of millions of dollars to commission studies, launch training sessions, and hire consultants and diversity czars. But is it working? Some experts argue that, despite decades of hand wringing, costly initiatives, and uncomfortable conversations, organizations have, apart from a few exceptions, fallen far short of their goals.1  

Renewed interest in DEI has prompted organization leaders to reflect on the progress (or lack of progress) they have made with these efforts. As one Wall Street Journal article states, “It’s time to move from saying, “We need to do this“ to asking “What are we doing with this?”2 Showing the value of DEI investments can be challenging for some professionals. This session will describe how to measure the value, including ROI, of DEI programs. 

Objectives
After attending this session, participants should be able to:
  1. Identify the five levels of outcomes from DEI programs
  2. Explain the need to deliver impact and ROI for selected DEI programs
  3. Design DEI programs to deliver application, impact, and ROI
  4. Plan the next steps to ensure DEI programs delivers value
