DIAL GLOBAL INDEX
The DIAL Global Index is a strategic diagnostic and benchmarking tool designed to help organisations understand where they are on their inclusion journey and where they need to go next. More than a measurement exercise, it is the first step in a results-driven partnership that enables organisations to embed meaningful, sustainable culture change which is the key to commercial growth and innovation.
Now in its fifth year, the Index has been developed in collaboration with global leaders across industry, and reflects the evolving challenges and opportunities within today’s business landscape. It enables senior teams to gain clarity, uncover gaps, and align their inclusion efforts with broader business goals.
Unlike traditional approaches, the DIAL Global Index provides a more holistic, structured view across six key pillars, known as the CITIES framework:
Culture - understanding the lived employee experience and organisational behaviours
Inclusion - exploring belonging, voice, and psychological safety
Talent - assessing representation, progression, and access to opportunity
Impact - measuring how DEI strategy translates into real-world outcomes
Equity - identifying and addressing systemic barriers within processes and practices
Social - evaluating the organisation’s wider social responsibility and influence
The survey for the Index can be submitted within 20 minutes, making it efficient and accessible. But its true value lies in what follows.
Once your submission is analysed, our team delivers a tailored scorecard that highlights both strengths and areas for development. This scorecard is the starting point, not the solution. From here, we work directly with your senior leaders to turn insight into action. Whether it’s addressing structural inequities, designing inclusive talent strategies, or enhancing cultural capability, we provide bespoke support that delivers real results.
Participation in the DIAL Global Index is a powerful statement of intent, but the real transformation happens through what comes next. The organisations that make the greatest progress are those who partner with us to go beyond benchmarking, and invest in building inclusive cultures with purpose, integrity, and impact.
The data tells the story. But we help you change the ending.
