Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Standards for Organizations Around the World

THE ULTIMATE GOALS OF DEI

Creating a better, equitable world for everyone
Advancing an inclusive culture
Improving organizational effectiveness

The GDEIB is designed to guide organizations to achieve best practices. The model with its 15 categories helps leaders and DEI professionals implement strategies that work as an integrated system.

The 15 categories, organized into four groups, cover the important elements that need to be addressed to create a world-class Diversity, Equity & Inclusion initiative.

Each category is divided into five levels, with the benchmarks at Level 5 considered best practice.

“The research process brought DEI practitioners and DEI voices from around the world. We collaborated on the development and co-creation process to have a truly global and an inclusive GDEIB document.”

“The GDIB is a practical guide for leaders across a variety of business functions looking for behaviourally explicit answers to the question: ‘What do you want me to do?’ It is an excellent resource for leaders well beyond DEI practitioners.”

“Diversity and inclusion are core values of the NBA. The GDEIB has been an invaluable contribution to our Playbook as we work to further integrate D&I into our efforts across our leagues and at each of our teams. The GDIB provides a clear view for each enterprise to see where it is currently on the continuum and what to work on to improve and reach the next level.”

"The most common question I am asked about equality, diversity, and inclusion is 'what do leading organizations do?' Behind this question is the desire to find out how your organization is doing and more importantly how to improve. The GDEIB fulfills this need like no other resource."

“Much remains to be done... we are convinced this initiative brings benefits to organizations and people. It joins a series of other successful initiatives in our country on D&I. Certainly it will not solve historical issues overnight, but the GDIB can support organizations and broaden their view, place points of attention on the map, and develop strategies to speed this movement up in our society.”

“As the concept of bottom line impact expands from 3Ps: People, Planet, Profit to 5Ps People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnership, organizations realise that inclusivity is the road to sustainable growth for the greater good of society. The unique value proposition of GDIB is that it provides comprehensive checklists which promote line of sight between operational procedures and the organization’s sustainability.”

“The GDIB provides a systemic and structural approach to D&I paving the way for a truly transformative journey. Self-reflection as a leader is critical to continuous growth and learning, and as you navigate the categories and benchmarks, you have to ask yourself—'Am I walking the talk? Am I living this as a leader right now?’”
