Best Practices in talent diagnostic & equity audits

Regular HR reviews and equity audits to determine strengths and gaps across all stages of the talent lifecycle ensure your systems are effective, compliant, and equitable.

Quantitative and qualitative data should be reviewed in a systematic way to illuminate trends across organizational talent practices. And while the results matter, the process is just as important: include a diverse group of stakeholders in every step to ensure buy-in.

1

Identify Your Scope

Before beginning your diagnostic or equity audit, it’s crucial to define what areas you want to assess and what a successful outcome would look like. Do you want to assess your entire talent system? Or are you looking at a specific area to assess - for example, compensation equity, talent acquisition, onboarding, or retention? If you’re not sure where to start, EdFuel’s Talent Diagnostic can quickly help you establish priorities.

If your organization does not have quantitative data that allows for subgroup analysis in all areas, you might incorporate anonymous case studies, disseminate a survey, or convene a representative focus group to get a better understanding. Be sure to include DEIA for every stage of the employee journey that you’re assessing.

Gather Current State Inputs

Before starting the diagnostic or audit, collect all current resources and tools your organization has for the spaces you are auditing, and keep them in a tracker. Include key stakeholders, such as school leadership or central office teams, who contribute to creating or using these resources and tools.

Include data that shows how your talent system and practices impact different employee subgroups (race, ethnicity, age, etc.). If your organization does not have quantitative data that allows for subgroup analysis in all areas, consider including anonymous case studies or convening a representative focus group.
