Program Assessment

In the past decade, company executives have started to increasingly prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. With a wide range of best practices, resources, and tactics available for companies to apply, it’s imperative to check the effectiveness of these DEI initiatives. A way to achieve this is by undertaking an external program assessment to evaluate the performance of your DEI programs and activities. At Tessi Consulting, we offer a DEI program assessment service that measures the effectiveness of your organization’s DEI efforts. Learn more about this service below.

Understanding Program Assessment

Conducting an external DEI program assessment offers a valuable objective viewpoint, utilizing evidence-backed best practices that contextualize and evaluate the performance and accountability of your DEI objectives. Using research-based solutions and comparative benchmarking figures, these assessments measure your current DEI position and the successes of your DEI strategies. This helps in diagnosing the areas of strengths and weaknesses, as well as proposing targeted solutions for continuous DEI improvements to propel your organization forward.

Benefits of Getting Program Assessment for Your Organization

A comprehensive program assessment will examine the effects of your existing DEI position across all levels of your company so as to successfully tackle the obstacles to involvement and inclusivity in the workplace. It goes beyond demographics and recruitment figures by analyzing company plans, processes, and procedures concerning equal accessibility, employee happiness, and employee sense of belonging.

In addition, a DEI program assessment is not limited to measuring quantitative data alone but also captures valuable qualitative insights obtained through inclusive stakeholder meetings. It serves also as a framework for leaders to diagnose the priority matters where company resources should be assigned to enhance the efficacy of DEI initiatives.
