Equal Reality celebrates diversity, and promotes inclusion. Today we are looking at our own diversity to celebrate who we are, and think critically about how we can continue to improve inclusion.

Deloitte Bersin found that among all of the HR practices, “building a culture of inclusion” is one of the top practices that drive positive financial outcomes. Research of 1000 companies showed that the highly inclusive organisations:

• Generate 2.3 times more cash flow per employee
• Generate 1.4 times more revenue
• Rate themselves 170 percent better at innovation
• Are 180 percent better in their ability to adapt to change
• Are 120 percent more capable of meeting financial targets

The sum of our differences gives us wider collective thought, and strength.

The Equal Reality team has created an internal survey to assess the diversity of thought that exists among us. In taking stock of our strengths and weaknesses, we aim to become more supportive of our community members.

Our team is small, and our spread of skills and experiences among such few people is impressive. Knowing where we lack diversity helps direct us to improve diversity in the future. It enables us to consciously open up our inclusiveness to the areas we wish to improve.

Areas we would like to improve in the future:

The age range of our team is 8 years apart from youngest to olderst.

Work experience range varies by only 5 years.

Nationality of our team predominately identifies as American or Australian.

None of our team has ever retired.

80% of our team is of a single religious demographic.

Politics Views of our team is 80% one sided.
20% of our team are halfway between parties.

If you want to use our survey, either outright or as inspiration for creating you own. We have made a template available below.
