Step-by-step diversity, equity and inclusion plan

What does DEI mean? Why is it important? And how does it contribute to a healthy workplace and better work performance?

Let's have a chat!
“Diversity is being invited to the party, equity is having access to the dancefloor, and inclusion is being asked to dance.”
Let us help you translate this to your company culture.


The trick?
Getting comfortable with the uncomfortable.

DE&I isn’t something that can be ‘fixed’ overnight.

Working on these topics often needs uncomfortable conversations. With our step-by-step guidance we learn you to look at the topic from a fresh perspective and manage DEI programmes successfully. So that your employees will feel included, save and seen.

  • You will learn principles of diversity, equality and inclusion and the conditions for success
  • You research and analyze the challenges and opportunities e.g. in relation to systemic biases within your organisation
  • You will learn a palette of programs and policies to work with in your company, in an easy and applicable way that suits the size and available resources of your company

7 factors for DEI succes

Appointing an owner has a significant impact by setting concrete goals and serving as the consistent point of contact for DIT-related questions.

Management serves as the role model. Their commitment to actively promoting diversity and learning is essential. When managers actively support and model the importance of DIT, the impact increases significantly.

Being open about the processes and their progress creates an understanding. And how you convey your message is even more important. Share both progress and setbacks with honesty. Celebrate wins but also be transparent about areas needing improvement. As long as your intentions are good, people will understand that this is a journey and not a simple one-shot action. 

Having a strategy with measurable goals increases the sense of responsibility and provides direction. It enables the evaluation of the program and its effectiveness. Measure, evaluate, and improve in an annual cycle. This can be a one pager, whatever fits your company best.


Training is more effective when there is room to apply and repeat what’s been learned. Without follow-up, around 75% of training content is forgotten within weeks.

For instance, if you go for bias training, make sure you can offer this every year. Research shows that a one-off training only has temporary effects. 

Interdependence between colleagues encourages a stronger desire to get to know each other better, which helps cooperation, improves the relationship, and breaks down hidden biases.

For equal treatment and opportunities, it is essential to have a structured and formal training program.
