To commit to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility initiatives, public sector leaders must work through some important considerations related to their workforce, finance processes and policies.
Three common challenges agencies can face are:
Data fragmentation: This results from organizations’ reliance on multiple systems for human resources (HR) and financial processes, which limits their ability to capture, track and analyze DEIA data. As a result, much of today’s DEIA compliance reporting happens in a silo, making it hard for agencies to understand where they stand – and where they need to go.
Outdated IT systems: Legacy technology simply isn’t designed to keep up with the data and analytics required for effective DEIA initiatives. Plus, these existing systems further support fragmentation and prevent agencies from getting a clear view of the whole workforce and supplier base. It’s hard to make informed business decisions without seeing the complete picture.
Tracking employee satisfaction: Many agencies face the problem of diverse employees leaving an agency soon after they’re hired because of feeling isolated and unable to access development opportunities. Many agencies strategize and invest in ways to acquire diverse workers but not in ways to keep them.
