Diversity Data Guide 2021: Collecting and analysing data on the inclusion and diversity of your workforce

The disruption caused by the pandemic has strengthened a focus on diversity and equality. As stakeholders and investors expect more transparency and commitment from organisations, building an inclusive and diverse workplace has never been more important.

Organisations that collect and analyse data on the diversity of their workforce have a deeper understanding of their people and the lived experiences of their employees. They can use this data to identify any existing biases, gaps or issues and work towards improving them.

In collaboration with the Investment Association, we have developed an informative guide on how organisations can effectively collect and disclose diversity data in the investment management industry.

Our guide will help you answer questions such as:

• How can I build the case for gathering diversity data?
• What data should I be collecting?
• Who should I involve in the process?
• What are common pitfalls along the way?
• How can I use the data I gather to gain insights from it and drive change?
