Assess

Our comprehensive and targeted diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) assessments help you understand your areas of challenge and opportunity and to determine where to invest your time and resources.

Comprehensive Assessment

This type of assessment helps you understand your organization’s demographics and people’s experiences of bias, exclusion, and inequity. We collect quantitative, qualitative, and supplementary data and share out assessment in a comprehensive findings report that can serve as your benchmark for years to come.
Quantitative Data
We collect security-tight quantitative data through a digital survey that pairs DEI sentiment questions with a robust demographic question set.
Qualitative Data
The issues we're trying to understand involve real lived experiences that cannot be captured by a number. Through a series of confidential 25-minute, open-ended, in-depth interviews or focus groups, we capture the human stories and lived experiences to enrich the survey data.
Supplementary Data
We supplement the survey and interviews with a review of your organizational policies, processes, and programs to help you understand where bias, exclusion, and inequity live within your systems.
Comprehensive Findings Report
We analyze your data and develop an accessible, comprehensive findings report highlighting statistical differences across various groups or identities. Of course, we centre intersectionality and decolonizing, anti-oppression, and social justice frameworks.

Targeted Assessment

With Targeted Assessments, we surface new insights and opportunities to advance specific areas of your organization with data-informed, intersectional, and security-tight targeted assessments.
Policy, Process, & Program

Aren’t surveys enough? Why do you offer qualitative and supplemental assessments as well?

We love data and numbers, but we also know that we’re all so much more than a data point, so we add nuance and context with stories and other materials to help us get a complete picture.
