Discover diversity - higher education staff intersectionality
An interactive dashboard suite co-designed with HR professionals to help universities profile the diversity demographics of their staff.
About discover diversity
Co-designed with HR professionals from within the higher education (HE) sector, this interactive dashboard suite enables you to view and benchmark key staff diversity demographics, so you can develop and support your equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) initiatives, as well as planning and monitoring. See how your staff characteristics combine or overlap to begin shaping your strategic vision for the future.
Discover diversity helps you to baseline, develop and monitor your EDI strategies, and measure progress with your implementation plans. It can also help you to compile critical evidence for EDI accreditation awards and showcase the important work you are doing. The dashboard suite also allows you to:
- Understand your staff profile in terms of sex, disability, ethnicity and age
- Identify your organisation’s intersectionality strengths and opportunities
- Identify trends
- Benchmark against custom groups of universities
- Generate forecasts against targets
- Measure staff FTE, pay gap and turnover
- Filter by university, academic contract, mode of employment, contract level, cost centre, and salary range
Interactive insights dashboard suites are available to OfS-registered higher education providers and are delivered via our Heidi Plus tool.
