Each business has its own view
on diversity. Before leaping to
general action, benchmark your
own organisation’s data to
understand your talent pipeline
and where you need to take action.
Know your diversity data

positions. Look at how talent is sourced
and identified in your business.
Identify and source talent
Opportunities need to be opento all,
by formalising hot jobs, promoting networking andactive sponsorship.
Open up development and advancement
To keep the best people,
a flexible approach is needed
to create the most effective
working structures, allowing
people to design systems
that work for them.
