Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are increasingly important for organizations of all sizes. A diverse and inclusive workforce can lead to a number of benefits, including increased innovation, creativity, and productivity. However, creating a truly inclusive workplace is not easy. It requires commitment from the entire organization, from the CEO to the front-line employees. 

One way to help organizations on their DEI journey is to use a maturity model. A maturity model provides a framework for organizations to assess their current state and identify areas where they can improve. Korn Ferry’s DEI Maturity Model is one such model. It measures organizations on five dimensions: 

• Risk Management: This dimension measures the organization’s ability to identify and mitigate DEI-related risks. 
• Awareness: This dimension measures the level of awareness and commitment to DE&I among the organization’s leaders and employees. 
• Talent Integration: This dimension measures the organization’s ability to attract, develop, and retain a diverse workforce. 
• Operations Integration: This dimension measures the organization’s ability to create a workplace where all employees feel valued and respected. 
• Market Integration: This dimension measures the organization’s ability to attract and retain customers from diverse backgrounds.
