We partner with you to dive deep in your DEI landscape, combining quantitative data with personalised insights from your stakeholders to paint a holistic picture of where you stand. By the end of the DEI audit, you will have clear, actionable recommendations that will guide you towards a more inclusive and equitable organization.

With a global presence spanning over 180 countries, we bring unparalleled global expertise right to your doorstep.

Overview of Our DEI Audit Service

At GDP, we have considerable experience working with organisations across various sectors, supporting them uncover their true state of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Our comprehensive audits blend existing data analysis, one-on-one interviews with senior leaders, focus groups with diverse employee groups, and full-scale DEI surveys – all of these come together to provide a 360-degree view of your organisation.

In a recent DEI employee survey, we achieved an impressive 84% response rate—far exceeding client expectations. This survey, combined with a Gender Root Cause Analysis, enabled us to uncover the reasons behind differential progression of female employees in a company where women make up the majority of the workforce, but are underrepresented in senior management roles.

Our proven approach has empowered organisations across industries – from finance and retail to education and energy – to make meaningful, evidence-based and measurable progress in their DEI journeys.
