Diversity has been brought into the lexicon of organisations as the right thing to do. However when it comes to implementation organisations face a challenge in bridging the gap between the stated position and operational needs.
This session will explain how Diversity Agenda can be linked to the Business objectives in a manner that organisational stake holders join the journey.

Operationalizing and progressing on an organizations Diversity Agenda requires close monitoring of the metrics that will result in the required outcomes. PwC will share the scorecard and metrics across the talent management process for sustaining diversity.

The session will
·         Explain what are the dimensions to be included while defining the inclusivity agenda.
·         Explain in practical terms how the agenda can be linked to business goals and metrics using a stake holder mapping principle.
·         From the stakeholder mapping model the session will further explain how organisations can go beyond the "head count" as a metric and link measurements to the business goals.
·         Lastly highlight the trips and Tricks in inclusivity implementations across various companies.

This session will have a practical insight where Ravi Raman will share his knowledge gained in the inclusivity space in his work with many global and local players along with the PWC team.
