Bromgold Diversity Index (BDI) gives you metrics to track your diversity program's success

Did you know that on average, it takes immigrants 10 years to achieve the same level of success that their Canadian counterparts achieve in 1 year?

How does this impact your ROI?

Although many companies acknowledge the business advantages of hiring immigrants, they fail to provide the environment immigrants need to succeed. One reason could be the lack of appropriate survey instruments to measure immigrants’ progress. 

The Bromgold Diversity Index (BDI) is an innovative diversity and inclusion survey to uncover barriers to career success for Canadian immigrants and minorities.

The Conference Board of Canada reports that 57% of companies use annual employee performance assessments as accountability tools.

But standard employee satisfaction surveys aren't enough, because they don't address the deeper diversity issues.

The objectives of the BDI are to:

• Create a culture of inclusion
• Uncover barriers such as overt or subtle forms of discrimination that prevent immigrant employees from progressing to their fullest potential
• Assess career opportunities, training and development, job related feedback, and opportunities for promotion
• Increase retention and intellectual capital
• Support strategies for meeting and exceeding employment equity and compliance goals

The results? A blueprint for companies to initiate diversity and inclusion programs.

The research is being done at the Sprott School of Business, at Carlton University in Ottawa.
