Diversity Benchmarking & Research

Surveys & reports on a wide range of equality, diversity & work~life management issues.

Client-Commissioned External Benchmarking: Establishing benchmark practices are an important part of developing your Equality, Diversity or Work~Life programmes.  Our surveys can be either as a specific project, or as an integral part of a broader diagnostic process for a client.

Our wide knowledge of the market-place makes us ideally placed to carry out effective client-commissioned benchmarking. Surveys are quantitative in nature, and enable the client to make informed business decisions based on the highest quality facts and data.

Examples include:

  • Equality & Diversity & Work-Life policy / practices across the UK Pharmaceutical and FMCG marketplace
  • Childcare survey of the IT industry in the UK
  • Survey of Childcare Voucher/Allowance users in the UK

Resourcing in the 21st Century - Missing the Opportunity: Kingshill was commissioned by Bartlett Merton - the 6th largest UK recruitment advertising agency - to design and conduct research into the business advantages of diversity management for recruitment & resourcing.

  • The specific interest is in diversity as a tool in meeting recruitment and resourcing strategies.
  • The scope of 'diversity' in this research is the wider definition, beyond race/gender/disability.
  • The report will provide  current practical information on market attitudes & practices regarding diversity management.

Initial summary results were presented at the CIPD conference in October 2000, and the full report published in spring 2001.

The One Step Ahead Collection:  Still the definitive evidence of the bottom line benefits of implementing E&D related polices.

The RealDifference Project: A major research project in March 2000 with two key outputs. Firstly determining objectively what differentiates corporate stayers and leavers in terms of values and motivation, according to variables including age, gender and professional function.  Secondly it provided participant companies with a critical assessment of the impact, significance and effectiveness of company practices in resourcing and retaining professional and managerial staff, through a life-values lens. The survey process was managed in conjunction with our CoPeople brand:  copeople.co.uk

Religion and Belief  in the Workplace A report into the facts and data regarding employer obligations and good practice, in responding to diverse religious needs in the UK workplace. May 1999.
