Facilitating HR leader buyoff

One of our clients wanted to develop an action plan that would create D&I accountability among HR leaders. However, their efforts were derailed because HR leaders questioned the accuracy of the data and the validity of the internal and external benchmarks. A team of CRA consultants developed a live, web-based reporting tool that made the underlying employee-level data available on a quarterly basis and enabled HR leaders to confirm the headcounts reported in their analyses. CRA’s team also worked intimately with the top HR leadership to tailor internal and external benchmarks—suited to the industries and skill levels of its upper-level management— that are the focal point of the client’s diversity metrics.  We continue to work with the client to assist  in their D&I reporting metrics.
