The Corporate Religious Diversity Assessment: A Tool for Measuring Global Religious D&I
There are many tools that D&I practitioners can use to measure their success in terms of inclusion for LGBT+ individuals, individuals with disability, and other forms of diversity. But how do companies know where they stand on religious diversity and inclusion? Moreover, how do companies fare on the topic of religious freedom? The Corporate Religious Diversity Assessment, created by Tanenbaum and the Religious Freedom & Business Foundation, offers a method for corporations to address exactly those questions. This session will introduce the 100-point online, internal assessment and explore next steps for corporations in implementing successful religious diversity and inclusion initiatives that address religious freedom.
