EDI Baseline Assessment Tool for the Board

Governance Solutions Inc. (GSI) has developed this proprietary tool for Board members to reflect on and assess their organization’s current practices in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. We have a different version of this tool for staff members who are more familiar with the workforce and workplace. The results will give you a sense of where you are on your EDI journey, and identify potential next steps.
 
For each of the questions below, please use this scale to indicate to what extent:
 
1 … not at all
2 … low extent
3 … moderate extent
4 … large extent
5 … significant extent
 
What we mean by these:
 
Equity: creating and accommodating equal opportunity to achieve fair outcomes for individuals in the workplace (including the board)
 
Diversity: creating a workplace (including the board) that supports the unique, inherent and acquired diversity of its people.
 
Inclusion: creating a workplace (including the board) where people feel a sense of belonging, are valued for their differences, and are empowered to freely participate and succeed.
