How This Course is Different from Other Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Analytics Courses:

This course focuses on practical workplace analysis rather than general DEI awareness. Participants learn how to measure representation, recruitment, pay, promotion, inclusion and retention using clear DEI metrics. The course also addresses confidentiality, small-group reporting, intersectionality and responsible interpretation.

Its content is informed by established approaches to people data, inclusion measurement, workforce reporting and pay equity. Participants leave with a structured DEI Metrics and Dashboard framework and a practical DEI Action Planning approach that can be adapted to their organization.
