Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) are crucial components of successful teams and central to achieving ultimate business performance.
DEIB is a management philosophy that recognises the unique value and structural challenges of individuals based on their varied identities such as race/ethnicity, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation etc.
It’s about recognising the inherent value of each person and ensuring that everyone’s unique background, perspective, and experiences are understood, valued, and leveraged.
Inclusive Environments
DEIB is also about creating an inclusive environment where different perspectives can be heard, where people feel safe sharing their opinions, and where everyone has an opportunity to succeed.
By conducting a DEIB audit, businesses can identify their diversity and inclusion priorities, understand and plan their next steps, identify gaps in their current practices, highlight best practices, ensure compliance with equality legislation and improve their practices over time.
Let’s Talk Disability can measure your organisation’s approach to inclusion and diversity in the workplace without bias, bringing an objective lens to your workplace practices. DEIB audits use many tools, including diversity research and diagnostics, gender pay gap analysis, and equality impact assessments. Let’s Talk Disability uses the Be #PeopleSmart’s Disability Inclusion Maturity Model© amongst its methods.
It provides organisations of any size or sector with a robust tool to assess their current position with regards to being disability inclusive and accessible for their staff and customers, identify their target maturity levels and determine the actions needed to get there.
The Maturity Model
Be #PeopleSmart created the Maturity Model, with the support of a global disability inclusion and accessibility professional review panel. The model is a free-to-use self-assessment benchmark to help you explore your strengths and growth areas for improvement.
