Audits and Analysis

At Odgers, we understand that accurate audits and thorough analysis provide the foundation for effective Inclusion & Diversity policy. Understanding your current position is essential to setting clear, achievable objectives and developing a plan to reach them.

Our Approach
We help your organisation develop a thorough understanding of the dynamics of recruitment, progression and attrition across your workforce. We support your organisation through the following services:

• Analysing ‘in, up & out’:
  We examine who joins your organisation, who progresses and who leaves. We identify barriers and gaps in your talent pipeline. We also advise your organisation on targeted actions to reduce unconscious bias.
• Understanding the ‘why’:
  To achieve meaningful change, it is important that all stakeholders understand the reasons behind change initiatives. We develop a tailored business case for I&D that sets out both the importance and the direct business benefits of these initiatives.
• Performance management heatmaps:
  In organisations with a strong performance management culture, annual employee assessments are directly linked to financial remuneration and progression opportunities. We conduct a thorough analysis across your organisation to identify and address potential unconscious bias at every level.
• Measuring the effectiveness of I&D initiatives:
  We monitor the effectiveness of I&D initiatives throughout your value chain, from suppliers and customers to your internal team.
• Future workforce objectives:
  We support your organisation in setting specific, measurable objectives for I&D. For example: achieving 30% female leaders by 2025 or increasing diversity within US management to 33%.
