Equality Check empowers organisations to create more equal workplaces for all. By combining data-driven technology with domain expertise in a single solution, companies are supported in going beyond measurement, to accelerate real change. Although equality, diversity, and inclusion have long been on the agenda in many workplaces, lots of organisations have traditionally struggled with how to tackle a sensitive issue. But our experience has told us time and again there are three common factors contributing to businesses struggling to progress with equality and attempting to create positive change: 1. Identify (We don’t know what data to collect) 2. Understand (We have knowledge gaps internally when trying to analyse and interpret data) 3. Act (We don’t know which actions will actually be effective) Equality Check has been built on years of research and industry experience in helping companies to understand and improve their workplace equality performance, and our belief that major cultural and systemic changes within organisations are almost always fuelled by better data and increased transparency. Equality Check software streamlines and supports: - Collecting and structuring relevant data from multiple sources - Execution of in-depth analysis in accordance with best practices for diversity and inclusion to identify and better understand patterns of bias in your organisation over time - Move from insight to action with our resources library and evidence-based solutions frameworks Everyone in your team deserves the same chance to shine, and that’s why we built Equality Check. Let’s build more equal workplaces, together.
