Fortifying Your DEI Initiatives with Data

DEI initiatives have been coming under attack for a while resulting in several well-known organizations abandoning their DEI programs. These firms either don’t understand DEI or were never really committed to it in the first place.

What ORGANIZATION LEVEL Leadership Gaps Are You Bringing Into 2024?

How Can Analytics Help to Identify Toxic Leaders?

Toxic leaders survive in organizations because they’re good at managing up. Therefore, you need a tool that assesses them by their peers, supervisor and direct reports. Analytics helps organizations identify toxic leaders because, if done properly, they are completely anonymous and data-driven. This eliminates potential retaliation that can occur with other types of assessments.
