Benchmarking Diversity and Inclusion practices in Australia
The University of Sydney Business School Migrants@Work Research Group, Diversity Council Australia (DCA) and AHRI surveyed Australian diversity and inclusion (D&I) practitioners about D&I policies and practices within their organisations. This research reveals a shift in the D&I climate within Australian businesses from the perspective of D&I practitioners themselves.
Project Overview
- Establish a comprehensive annual national status report on the nature and extent of Diversity and Inclusion policy and practice in Australian organisations
- Provide Australian organisations with invaluable data to inform their decision making about how Diversity and Inclusion can help them better face Australia’s talent and innovation challenges into the future.
The survey was based on the instrument used by the Chartered Institute for Professional Development (CIPD), in a project led by Professor Mustafa Ozbilgin and Dr Ahu Tatli to survey its members, which was rolled out in 2006. The survey was adapted slightly for the Australian context and administered to DCA and AHRI members, generating 280 completed responses. The demographics of the survey sample are provided in the section entitled ‘D&I Practitioner Profile’.
