Fénix Leadership & Development measures Diversity and Inclusion in an organization by means of an in-depth assessment of attitudes, perceptions, norms, policies, and processes. This audit
serves as an organizational diagnosis and a baseline measurement from which to create a stronger DEI culture and practice. We administer a scientifically validated survey with strong psychometric properties, the Inclusion Index, to
measure nine dimensions, which have shown to be significantly related to perceptions of
diversity, inclusion, and engagement. We also gather data qualitatively, through focus groups
and interviews, to offer a more detailed and accurate interpretation of the data. Through our
process, we offer both a macro view and a granular picture of the data represented across the
diverse demographic of employee groups. These findings are essential for achieving a deeper
understanding of similarities and differences across diverse groups in their perceptions,
attitudes and the impact of norms, policies and processes on their behavior. We maintain the anonymity of all participants and store the data securely. For more information about the

Alignment Meeting with Leadership:
The commitment of executive leadership to DEI is critical to the success of these
initiatives and interventions. This meeting is designed to ensure an alignment among
leaders about their understanding of Diversity & Inclusion, their role as leaders in the
implementation of DEI programs, and the overall organizational commitment. This
meeting involves an initial strategic conversation about current strengths, opportunities,
and challenges in this undertaking.
Communication of Results across the Organization:
Fénix works with leadership to co-design a customized communications strategy to
share results of the survey to support the organization’s DEI objectives. Some findings
may be sensitive to one or more of the groups; our commitment is to maintain a high
level of awareness about the impact of the findings on different groups so that the
outcome of the communications is constructive and sensitive to and respectful of all groups.
Strategic Conversation & Planning with Leadership:
Utilizing the results and interpretation of the cultural audit and the granular data on
diverse groups, Fénix meets with leadership to develop a DEI strategy and plan for
programs and initiatives based on strengths and opportunities and the challenges to advance
the organization in meeting its DEI goals.
