Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) — executives know how this matters, but that’s only just the beginning. You, as the HR director or leader, are in a position to empower your C-suite to take action. This includes developing, implementing and measuring a workforce DEI program.

So, what are the most critical DEI program elements to communicate to company leadership? Download this free diversity presentation template that outlines what the C-suite wants (and needs) to know in order to get started with a DEI program that has a lasting, meaningful impact.

Objectives and key results
Access suggestions for action items and key results that align with program objectives including:
- Diversity: Become a company that reinforces diversity from start to finish.
- Equity: Create a culture that presents equal opportunities for all employees.
- Inclusion: Build a culture of open communication and inclusivity.
Project roadmap
Use the timeline template as a starting point to map out dates, deadlines and activities to keep the project moving forward and achieving desired results.
Dependencies
Understand the key audiences and dependencies for a DEI program. Department leaders, for instance, will be responsible for helping initiative programs, surveys and best practices for creating a more inclusive work environment. Additionally, they’ll need to find time for training and create an environment that is open and safe for all employees.
