Diversity Data Course FAQs

What is diversity data and why is it important?

Diversity data refers to a data set of information that captures the different protected characteristics of your workforce and job applicants. For instance, data may be collected on people’s ethnic identity, sexual orientation, disability status and gender identity, among other characteristics. Diversity data is an essential metric for gaining insights that can promote and guide diversity and inclusion in your organisation. Find out more about diversity data here.

Why is diversity data training beneficial for your organisation?

Diversity data helps organisations to understand if (and where) action is needed on DEI. The diversity of an organisation is a key factor now for many job applicants when considering an organisation.

By teaching those who are responsible for diversity performance how to collect, monitor and manage diversity data, issues around inclusivity within your workforce or recruitment process can be identified and tackled more effectively. Your data can drives your actions and decisions, so its quality is critical.
