Why Nurture an Inclusive Leadership Culture?
Turn Insights into Action
Increase Retention and Engagement
Inclusion drives belonging. When employees feel seen and valued, they stay longer, perform better, and speak up more freely - especially underrepresented talent.
Hiring diverse talent isn’t enough - an inclusive culture is essential to fully realize the performance, innovation, and engagement benefits of an inclusive culture.
Developed over years of research and testing, our assessment delivers reliable, judgment-free insights into employee attitudes and inclusive leadership gaps.
Understand how inclusion attitudes and expression vary by role, gender, location, or other demographics - so you can tailor strategies for training, communication, and change.
Measure how safe people feel expressing their views on inclusion. Identify where employees are holding back and take steps to create an open, trusting culture.
