Organization
Analysis
Equip your organization with the critical benchmark data and leading indicators needed to develop a comprehensive strategy to build an inclusive organization.
Organizations in the top quartile for ethnic and cultural diversity are 35% more likely to post better financial performance*, and Linkage research shows a direct correlation between inclusive behaviors and leadership effectiveness.
Are you eager to establish metrics to track the results of your efforts to create cultures of inclusion? Do you know if your leaders are able to lead across difference and support an environment where all employees can contribute at the highest levels?
Linkage’s Inclusive Organization Analysis equips organizations with strategic consulting that is informed by insights from Linkage’s Inclusive Organization Assessment™, a research-backed, diagnostic assessment tool—the only assessment designed for organizations seeking to measure how inclusive they are. It provides them with the critical benchmark data and leading indicators they need to develop a comprehensive and meaningful strategy to build an inclusive organization.
Linkage’s research has identified the four dimensions organizations must address in order to achieve and maintain an inclusive organization: Culture, Talent Systems, Executive Action, and Leadership Development. The Inclusive Organization Assessment evaluates these dimensions, which include leading indicators associated with inclusivity and Net Promoter Scores (the likelihood of employees promoting their company to others), to equip organizations with the data they need to identify and act on areas that will have the greatest impact.

Inclusive Leadership Development is an Imperative
Organizations are experiencing a major shortfall in ready-now leaders. With 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 each day, the demand for prepared leaders is not going to let up anytime soon. At the same time, organizations continue to struggle to build cultures that truly value difference and give all employees opportunity to advance. By building a more inclusive organization, companies can solve both problems: improving the quantity and quality of effective leaders and creating an environment where all employees feel valued.
