Corporate Risk Assessments and Diversity Action Plans to Improve the Workplace and Work Environment

Situation:
Many companies have experienced class action lawsuits in recent times with their associated expense, operations impact, and negative publicity. The CEO of a corporation that has not had such an issue asked about the company’s current situation and whether any new actions might further improve the work environment and reduce susceptibility to, or impact of, a discrimination or harassment lawsuit.

Solution:
A comprehensive corporate risk assessment was performed of relevant current expenses, EEO and OFCCP compliance data, diversity objectives and progress, and people process assessments. A briefing package, diversity and inclusion action plan, and management scorecard were prepared.

Outcome:
The analysis helped identify some opportunities for further improvement. The scorecard helped manage and track progress.
