CREATING HARMONY THROUGH INCLUSION

In the aftermath of 2020, racial injustice and gender inequality have been put firmly in the spotlight. Movements such as Black Lives Matter and inequities exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying economic downturn are creating pressure for organisations to disclose their approach to diversity and inclusion (D&I).
Diversity Atlas is an online application developed by Cultural Infusion that enables employers and managers to assess the cultural and demographic traits of their employees or members. It measures not only the type, but also the extent of cultural diversity.
As well as being vital for investors and organisation leaders, D&I is crucial for productive workforces. Nearly 80% of those surveyed for the CNBC | SurveyMonkey Workforce Happiness Index in April 2021 said they want to work for a company that values diversity, equity, and inclusion issues.

We are partnering with the Diversity of Council Australia (DCA) for this year’s Inclusion@Work Member Index. Member organisations are able to capture their inclusion statistics to bench-mark against Australian worker, DCA member and industry results.
For the first time, DCA will utilise Diversity Atlas’ technology to analyse and display survey results. This will enable participant organisations to capture live data, as well as provide a suite of intersectional analysis.
|
|
DCA’s Research Manager Rose D’Almada Remedios says of the collaboration:
“Working with Cultural Infusion and their team on our Inclusion@Work Index has been a great experience. It is wonderful to work in partnership with an organisation that truly values diversity and inclusion, especially in the workplace. The dashboard that our partnership has created is an incredible tool, and we are looking forward to providing our members with data and insights to help them on their journey in making workplaces diverse and inclusive for all.” |

On the Diversity Atlas Blog

Cultural diversity in Australian federal politics has become a topical issue lately. Our recent blog post on this topic highlights the lack of cultural diversity in our highest offices, and what this means for the representation of constituents.
While 33% of Australians were born overseas, only one in 10 elected officials being from culturally diverse backgrounds - in any organisation, this is of significant concern; representation and diversity matter.
|
|
When that organisation’s sole responsibility is the representation of the interests of their wider communities, it is cause for concern.
