A key starting point for any organisation is to establish its present position on diversity. Assumptions are frequently made regarding the effectiveness of the business in managing diversity, but it is not until an objective and skilled audit takes place that the true picture emerges. This picture is a vital starting point for developing appropriate interventions.

A key part of any audit is gathering employee perceptions of the diversity climate. At Pearn Kandola, we have developed a robust, audit tool. Readily accessible through the internet, the Diversity Climate Questionnaire measures employee perceptions across the 6 key organisational aspects. Research tells us these 6 aspects are key to developing a positive diversity climate. Critically, the Diversity Climate Questionnaire allows you to benchmark your organisation against others in your sector. 

Pearn Kandola audits typically contain a review of:

• Policies and procedures
• Employee perceptions
• Workforce demographic data
• Benchmarking analysis
