The DEI tool has three primary functions that it aims to support organisations to measure. These are the following:
- Measuring representation and diversity within an organisation’s leadership team, board, and staff.
- Measuring the diversity of an organisation’s users or clients.
- Calculating an organisational gender and ethnicity pay gap
It has a number of functions including the opportunity to identify where there may be any power imbalances in decision-making,
By sharing this tool for free, they hope to encourage organisations to collect and share their own diversity data and use it within their own decision-making around DEI practices and policies.
