Diversity IN Check. A list of the best employers for Diversity and Inclusion in Poland

Restoring the world affected by the pandemic in a new and better way will not be possible without including the previously overlooked or marginalised social groups, both in the labour market and in the social space. On the contrary, the aim is to strive for greater social cohesion. It is therefore no coincidence that the EU taxonomy, designed as a tool to support the implementation of the European Green Deal in the EU, addresses social aspects in addition to environmental ones. It is also one of the fundamental dimensions of ESG reporting, the role of which is expected to grow.

The Diversity IN Check is a survey to diagnose the maturity of companies/organisations in managing diversity and building inclusive organisations. Organisations that are better able to meet the challenges of the modern world by leveraging the potential of diversity to enhance innovation, contribute to their financial performance and at the same time strengthen social cohesion.

How

Methodology

The questions of the survey are based on internationally recognised standards and guidelines, such as:

• Sustainable Development Goals
• ISO 26000
• GRI Standards
• the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises

In order to qualify for the Diversity IN Check, a certain number of points must be obtained based on the answers to the survey questionnaire. Minimum benchmarks are defined both in general and separately for each of the three groups of scored factors. The survey allows for an objective and transparent assessment of diversity management in an organisation.
