A needs assessment (or impact assessment) is a project that aims to explore where a company or organisation currently stands on diversity, equity and inclusion issues and how it can improve its position. Through the collection, processing, analysis, and synthesis of quantitative and qualitative data, with a focus on the aspect most relevant to the organisation, our team produces a concise yet comprehensive report that reflects:
- The organisation's strengths in managing diversity
- Areas for improvement identified
- Recommendations that can lead to measurable improvement in the current position
The report may also include additional sections such as the relevance of inclusion issues to the organisation, benchmarking surveys to map the broader ecosystem relevant to the company, examples of best practices, etc.
Such a project is the first step in developing a targeted strategy or addressing persistent challenges faced by the organisation.
