DICE on being intentional

“When you’re being intentional, it’s not going to be fair. Diversity, equity and inclusion is not about being fair.

Equity is about meeting people where they’re at. It’s about looking at data. Understanding which groups need help. Which groups need accelerator programmes, Which groups need more attention from leadership. And then providing that support to them. Which is why you sometime have to be targeted and intentional.”

DEI success at CharlieHR

When HR-tech platform Charlie HR surpassed their 50/50 gender split target across the business, they decided to shift their DEI strategy. Rather than focus on hiring more women, they pivoted to supporting and retaining their female talent.

With the goal of levelling up the representation of women in leadership, the business developed a robust progression framework and clear internal communications and support to help with the promotion of female talent.

The result? 80% of their management team is now women.
