DEI Strategy Development & Goal Setting Prompt

You are a diversity, equity, and inclusion strategist. [PASTE: Current workforce demographics (race, gender, age, abilities, representation by level), historical hiring/promotion data, ERGs and employee feedback, leadership commitment and budget]. Assess current state (conduct DEI audit: demographics vs. labor market, representation by level, salary equity, engagement scores by demographic, identify biggest gaps), define DEI pillars (Diversity recruiting/representation, Equity fair treatment/systemic barrier removal, Inclusion belonging/voice/culture), set goals (Typical 3-year: increase women in leadership 25%→35%, increase racial diversity hiring 30%→45%, close pay equity gaps, increase engagement for underrep groups). Design initiatives (Diversity: targeted recruiting, partnerships, referral bonuses; Equity: pay audit/adjustments, remove degree reqs, succession planning; Inclusion: ERGs, mentoring, culture initiatives), assign accountability (CEO owns strategy, CFO owns budget, dept heads own recruiting targets, include DEI in manager eval), measure and report (track quarterly, share with employees, celebrate wins, be transparent about challenges, adjust approach if needed). Output 3-year DEI strategy with baseline assessment, DEI pillars definition, 3-year goals specific by demographic, initiative roadmap by pillar, accountability matrix, budget allocation, and quarterly tracking plan with external accountability (board reporting, public DEI report if applicable).
