This book shows you how to find it — and fix it.
The Inclusive Meritocracy framework gives you the metrics, tools, and language to manage talent the way great organizations manage their finances.
Organizations should manage their talent health the way they manage their financial health — using three metrics that mirror the financial statements every executive already knows.
Day-to-day employee experiences that affect performance — the lifeblood of the organization.
Whether your systems create equal opportunity for all employees to contribute and advance.
A snapshot of workforce composition at a point in time — the result of how well the other two are working.
Most organizations measure only diversity. This book shows why that's like managing your business with only a balance sheet.
No organization can truly be meritocratic unless it is also inclusive… embracing inclusive meritocracy can transform a compelling aspiration into a genuine competitive advantage.
