Description
Book SynopsisThis
Handbook on Diversity and Inclusion Indices critically examines many of the popular and frequently cited indices related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) benchmarking and progress tracking. The goal is to provide a better understanding of the indices' construction, strengths and weaknesses, intended applications, contribution to research and progress towards diversity and equity goals.
The editors include detailed reviews of 23 DEI indices including broader, more general measures as well as those that focus on a particular aspect of diversity (e.g., gender, religion). Included are indices that measure diversity, equity, and/or inclusion at organizational, national, and regional levels. The Handbook unpacks this wide range of indices to meet the needs of researchers, public policy makers, and general consumers of information.
Trade Review'The Handbook on Diversity and Inclusion Indices
is a valuable and timely resource for research and policy. Each chapter explains the source, history, purpose, strengths and weaknesses of key D&I indices. This Handbook will be an essential resource for researchers and policy makers examining how policies, economic, and political factors impact upon D&I progress in countries and regions around the world.' -- Alison M. Konrad, Western University, Canada
'In both societies and organizations, what gets measured gets done. Yet, progress towards goal achievement is challenging without an understanding of effective measurement. This Handbook offers a comprehensive review and assessment of popular diversity and equity indices, and will be a valuable resource for advancing research, practice, and policy in the field.' -- Quinetta Roberson Connally, Michigan State University, US
