Our Process

The Ibis assessment process is structured, collaborative, and based on years of experience with organizational DEI assessments.

Phase 1

Planning

  • We align with you on the goals and priorities of the assessment and guide communication and engagement strategies for the participation of the entire organization.


Phase 2

Quantitative Data Collection & Analysis 

  • We collect and analyze quantitative data through an Organization-Wide Survey and specialized questionnaires distributed to organizational stakeholders.


Phase 3

Preliminary Report 

  • We build and share with you a Preliminary Report of Findings based on the data collected through the Organization-Wide Survey and Stakeholder Questionnaires.


Phase 4

Secondary Planning 

  • We use the findings of the Preliminary Report to help guide you through areas that merit further investigation through Employee Focus Groups and One-on-One Interviews with your organization’s leaders. 


Phase 5

Qualitative Data Collection & Analysis 

  • We collect and analyze additional input from Focus Groups with your employees and One-on-One Interviews with your organization’s leaders.


Phase 6

Final Report of Findings & Action Plan

  • We synthesize all information collected through the Organization-Wide Survey, the Questionnaires from Area Stakeholders, the input from Employee Focus Groups and Leadership Interviews, and the critical collaboration with your organization’s Core Assessment Team into a Final Report of Findings & Action Plan.

Organizational DEI Assessment Methodologies

Ibis collects and analyzes both quantitative and qualitative data across your organization.

  • An Organization-Wide DEI Survey measures the experience of your employees through a series of questions that map to the 14 areas comprising the Ibis Inclusive Organization Framework.

  • A series of Questionnaires is distributed to key stakeholders in your organization to gather their perspectives on the level of DEI planning and execution in their area of influence within the Ibis Inclusive Organizational Framework.

  • Facilitated and thoughtfully organized Employee Focus Groups are designed to gather focused and direct input from your workforce.

  • One-on-one Interviews with your organization’s leaders are conducted for those in leadership positions to share their perspectives, insights, and experiences.

  • In the Workforce through its Recruitment & Hiring.

  • In the Workplace through its Employee Experience.

  • In the Marketplace through its Supplier Diversity.
