Learn more about Leading NOW's Inclusive Culture Assessment

The Inclusive Culture Assessment (ICA) goes much deeper than an employee engagement survey and the results from this assessment may be utilized as the baseline from which you can measure the impact of the DEI solutions you employ. Identifying how your employees experience the Culture, the Leadership, and Equity can provide the guidance needed to identify the barriers to inclusion at your organization. Leading NOW's proprietary, research-driven, and field-tested Inclusive Culture Assessment (ICA), was created to give companies quantifiable data on their culture, leadership and equity, including a deep understanding of the views of its workforce, and how they experience the organization. This unique assessment tool is designed to provide insights to all sizes of organizations, from small and mid-range, to large global entities. Below you will find some excellent articles that go into more depth about the ICA. Read ON!

"Sounds Like a TED Talk" This guest blog post comes from our friend and Leading Women alumna Victoria Waterman at Girls Inc. of Worcester. Be sure to watch her TEDxNatick talk and share it. Read ON! It started when I reached out to Susan Coluntuono to learn more about her research on confidence and how it fit into “The Missing 33%”.
