Intel, Snap Inc., Nasdaq, Dell Technologies
and NTT DATA launch index survey data as benchmarking tool for
biannual progress.
Intel, Snap Inc., Nasdaq, Dell Technologies and NTT DATA
announced a new industry coalition today, Alliance for Global
Inclusion, and have developed shared diversity and inclusion
metrics. These metrics are based on a global survey launched by
Intel in 2020 to determine the status of diversity and inclusion
progress at 13 major companies. The survey data is available on a
new website and forms the coalition’s inclusion index. The index
serves as a benchmark to track diversity and inclusion
improvements, shares current best practices and highlights
opportunities to improve outcomes across industries.

“Aligning on a set of unified diversity and inclusion metrics
and standards has been a consistent challenge for companies across
industries, including in tech where gaps continue to be highlighted
in areas such as women and underrepresented minority representation
in leadership roles,” said Dawn Jones, Intel’s chief diversity and
inclusion officer and vice president of social impact. “The goal of
the Alliance for Global Inclusion and index is to have a consistent
system of measurement to better track progress and identify areas
of improvement. We invite others to join us in using our collective
strengths and capabilities to create positive change within
corporations, our communities and society at large.”

The coalition will focus on making progress in four critical
areas:
- Leadership representation: Develop representation
guidance for board of director roles and direct reports to CEOs
that reflect the customers and communities served. The Alliance
will create and distribute guidance for boards to use when
identifying and assessing diverse talent for board consideration.
Coalition partners commit to share with their boards.
- Inclusive language: Drive awareness, dialogue and
industrywide change for inclusive language in products and
documentation, amplified through partnerships with standards bodies
and academic institutions. This involves convening coalition
partner companies and other interested organizations to align on a
standard set of language changes that all can support.
- Inclusive product development: Commit to leveraging
existing intervention points in artificial intelligence (AI)
product development to mitigate bias and embed diversity and
inclusion considerations into AI product lifecycles. This will
involve the creation of a multi-stakeholder or cross-industry forum
to share best practices on an AI governance approach.
- STEM readiness in underserved communities: Improve STEM
readiness in higher education for youth in underserved communities
by increasing technology access and partnering with wrap-around
support services. This includes a collective investment in global
inclusion centers for underserved communities in partnership with
established non-profits.
Among the coalition’s goals is use of the index to align on a
consistent system of measurement to better track progress and
identify areas for improvement. Coalition partners believe the best
way to accelerate the adoption of inclusive business practices is
through transparency and collaboration. The Alliance for Global
Inclusion plans to convene at least twice a year to track the
status of each of these goals as well as assess and monitor the
index. The next survey for the inclusion index will be administered
in fall 2021.
