Organizational Assessment

TES Scorecard

This assessment is used to benchmark organizations on the Equity Continuum© (EC). The scorecard consists of "the 8 questions that matter" as it relates to evaluating fairness and equity in the workplace. Examples of typical users of the scorecard include diversity change agents, leadership teams, and diversity councils and advisory committees.

The purpose of the scorecard is to get the equity conversation started in the organization. As a result of completing the scorecard users are provided with a report including:

  • The group's average score on each question relative to the TWI norm
  • An alignment index that highlights areas of disagreement and consensus
  • The group's position on the Equity Continuum©
  • Depending on the size of the group, we also provide EC scores broken out by gender, visible minority status, and level in the organization

Get the equity conversation started by discovering where your organization is positioned on the Equity Continuum©. You can complete a complimentary scorecard at www.diversitymeasurement.ca/scorecard.


Identification of the Business Case

The Identification of the Business Case for Human Equity™ is aimed at executives and leaders. The purpose of the assessment is to gauge senior leadership's opinion of the importance/relevance of diversity and human equity to various aspects of their business. It rates the perceived importance of diversity and human equity to the following business issues and outcomes:  

  • Marketing and Customer Service
  • Recruitment & Retention
  • Productivity
  • Team Management
  • Globalization
  • Compliance with legislation and other standards

This assessment is also designed to identify the links between established business priorities and diversity/equity from a leadership perspective.

The Diversity Quotient©

TWI's Diversity Quotient© is our flagship employee survey and measures the extent to which the organization supports a work environment that is fair and equitable for all. The DQ measures employee engagement, as well as perceptions of fairness related to a range of business programs, policies, and procedures. The DQ also assesses the "diversity climate" of the organization by inquiring about employees' comfort levels with members of different groups, attitudes towards diversity, the organization's location on the Equity Continuum©, and employee experiences with discrimination, harassment, and abuse of authority in the workplace. Finally, the Diversity Quotient© compares employee responses for each of TWI's standard (vs. client customized) questions against TWI's "normative database."

Another important feature of this survey is that it allows clients to see results through a diversity lens. That is, results for each component measured in the survey are "broken out" by a series of demographic and organizational categories.

The Three Drivers of an Equitable Work Environment and their Associated Sub-Drivers


Diversity Census

The Diversity Census is a condensed "workforce analysis" that provides organizations with information on minority group representation and other personal and job-related demographics that define the workforce.  The Census collects information about the following:

  • Level of representation that exist within the organization's workforce as a whole and within different job levels, salary levels, etc. Under-representation of certain groups or "job ghettos" within the organization act as Oil Lights.
  • Employee's experiences with work/life balance in the organization.

Questions are consistent with the National Census Surveys in order to allow comparisons with industry and regional norms compiled from the most recent census statistics.

The Diversity Census is available in hard copy or online.  Contact TWI to complete the Diversity Census today!


Talkback

TWI's Talkback Survey is a unique assessment aimed at understanding the extent to which leaders and managers are operating in a way that is consistent with a strength-based organization - one that leverages the unique strengths and talents of all employees.   

  • Employees are asked to complete a short survey evaluating their managers.
  • Managers with the highest survey scores are asked to participate in a TWI facilitated in-house session designed to share best practice strategies with other managers in the organization.

Contact TWI to find out how to arrange a Talkback session in your organization

Diversity Competencies

The Diversity Competencies Survey is designed to assess attitudinal and behavioural competencies within an organization's workforce and is based on TWI's Competency Model.  The model, shown below, holds that both attitudes and behaviours are important in creating an organizational climate that respects and values differences within both the workplace (internal environment), and client base (external environment). 

Competency Model

This survey brings together our measures of attitudinal competencies and behavioural competencies and is used to determine the extent to which an organization's workforce has the necessary competencies to work effectively in a diverse workplace and with a diverse client base. The report identifies:

  • Levels of diversity competency among employees
  • Specific developmental opportunities and training needs for employees
  • Benchmarks that can be used to evaluate progress
  • Strategic and tactical recommendations for enhancing levels of diversity competency in the organization
