DEI strategies and action plans that deliver impact
Ensuring your DEI agenda gets the right support and builds traction, starts with an intentional strategy. Organisations that link DEI to their business strategy, together with a clear understanding of where the gaps are combined with a plan for closing these, achieve better results.
Take your DEI program beyond ad-hoc, tactical initiatives to delivering strategic programs that strengthen both the system and the culture of inclusion within your organisation. By starting with the do-now items, we’ll work with you to create a foundation to build on while addressing longer-term actions.
Perspective Hive offers capability in bespoke DEI strategy development by:
- Linking the DEI change agenda to the overall organisational and people strategy, as well as key business imperatives.
- Creating the ‘why’ for the change – linking to strategic business benefits and identified opportunities for improvement.
- Synthesising the DEI review to identify foundation strengths, as well as gaps and opportunities.
- Creating a tangible, practical and measurable 2-3 year action plan with goals, actions, timing and related measures and outcomes to drive meaningful and relevant change.
- Debunking any DEI myths identified during the DEI review.
- Using anonymous, de-identified verbatims gained from either survey comments or listening sessions to story tell the lived experiences of DEI from employees and other participants.
- Developing a DEI dashboard of key measures through which to track and manage changes (as well as identify the wins that should be celebrated along the way!).
- Working with HR and leadership teams to create the conversation around why investing in a DEI strategy will deliver tangible performance outcomes including higher levels of innovation, engagement and productivity.
Targeted DEI strategies
Perspective Hive can work with you to create targeted strategies, both for organisational-led goals and external compliance. These include:
Respect@Work strategy and action planning
Embedding Respect@Work as an important focus are by developing proactive strategies and action plans to support with meeting positive duty statutory obligations under the Sex Discrimination Act. We’ll help you define what Respect@Work means in practical terms and how your organisation should protect against, act and respond to discrimination and disrespect.
Gender pay gap remediation action plans
From 2024, the Workplace Gender Equality Agency will publish the gender pay gap data of all private and public sector organisations. With increased visibility of this data, it’s a strong motivator to take action to reduce your gender pay gap. Perspective Hive can help you create a targeted gender pay gap reduction action plan, that considers pay equity along each step of the employee lifecycle, from candidate to exit stage.
We can also work with you to develop gender pay gap position statements and communication plans to clearly articulate your key messages to create pay gap transparency and demonstrate how you are working to address any identified issues.
Gender equity action plans
Starting with a baseline data review and consultation process with your people, we can help create a gender equity action plan that builds the case for change, with specific actions and strategies across gender composition, pay equity, sexual harassment, leave, professional development and more. We’ll also work with you to create a framework for accountability and measuring progress.
WGEA gender equity action indicator plans and strategies
From 2024, the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) requires all organisations with more than 500 employees to have policies or strategies in place for each of the six gender equality indicators (based on the Workplace Gender Equality Amendment Closing the Gender Pay Gap Bill 2023).
Whether you need support to develop your policies and strategies, or want to assess the efficacy of what you’re already doing, Perspective Hive can help.
Disability and accessibility action plans
Accessibility means that your organisation is accessible and inclusive for everyone – employees, customers, supply chain partners and more. Perspective Hive can help you design an accessibility strategy to create an organisation where everyone is welcome, feels like they belong and can participate with dignity and respect. From building disability confidence in your leaders and teams, through to plans to address gaps, and ongoing communications, our end-to-end approach will help you support accessibility throughout the organisation.
