We are proud to share that In Diverse Company and our CEO, Johanna Beresford, have been featured in Raconteur’s article, How to Include Diversity. The article highlights the evolving conversation around workplace culture, inclusion, and the need for organisations to go beyond surface-level diversity initiatives.

Shifting the Diversity & Inclusion Narrative

Many organisations still take a transactional approach to diversity – focusing on representation metrics rather than embedding inclusivity into their business strategy. While increasing representation is important, true cultural transformation requires a deeper shift. Leaders need to move beyond reporting diversity numbers and focus on how inclusivity can drive business success.

At In Diverse Company, we understand that culture is a by-product of business strategy. The key question leaders should ask is not just, “How do we create a diversity and inclusion strategy?” but rather, “What are our pressing business concerns, and how can cultural inclusion help solve them?”

Measuring Inclusion for Real Change

A major takeaway from the Raconteur feature is the need for organisations to measure inclusion effectively. Rather than relying solely on gender or ethnicity metrics to infer inclusivity, companies must have an actual inclusion measure that links directly to business performance.

That’s where our Diversity Inclusion Maturity Model (CIMM) comes in. This model provides organisations with an Inclusivity Score, derived from a psychometric and organisational audit. The score is mapped against the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to provide a structured approach to improving workplace inclusion.

Why This Matters for Your Business

True inclusion is about more than leadership vision, it’s about fostering inclusive micro-cultures within teams. Leaders who embed inclusion into their core business strategy see higher engagement, innovation, and better business outcomes.

We are thrilled to be featured in this discussion and remain committed to helping businesses build truly inclusive cultures—ones that go beyond boardroom diversity and create meaningful, sustainable change at all levels.
