BELONG – a framework for diversity and inclusion

BELONG: An assessment framework to support your diversity and inclusion strategy.

There has been a growing case for organisations to prioritise creating diverse and inclusive workplaces where people of all backgrounds and identities are treated fairly and equally and can thrive. New data about inclusion shows that employees from different backgrounds are still having different experiences at work. Now is the time for organisations to get a real measure of how diverse and inclusive they are, and take action to improve things.

Developed by organisational psychologists at People Insight, the BELONG model is a robust framework to comprehensively assess D&I in the workplace, and identify where to act.

The BELONG model covers the following themes:

1. Belonging: Do we have a culture of openness in which people can speak up and be themselves?
2. Equity: Does everyone have equal opportunity, feel valued and rewarded?
3. Leadership: Are senior leaders standing up for D&I and role modelling the right attitudes and behaviours?
4. Opportunity: Do people receive fair and respectful treatment? Are we zero-tolerant?
5. Normative: Do we actively encourage/create diversity and have representation at all levels?
6. Governance: Are people complying, or do we have incidence of bullying, harassment, and discrimination? How are we at handling this?
