Many companies say they are meritocratic – but do their data, processes, and employees’ experiences really support this assumption?

Across organizations, the ambition to “hire and promote the best” often meets opaque criteria, unconscious bias, and limited transparency in decision-making. This session brings together experts, leaders, and practitioners to work with a clear framework for inclusive meritocracy, grounded in research and practice from Advance – Gender Equality in Business and the Competence Center for Diversity, Disability and Inclusion (CCDI) .

In this Best Practice Exchange for Business Leaders, HR, and DEI leads, participants will:

• use the Meritocracy Check and practical KPIs
• assess their organization’s current level of meritocracy
• identify concrete steps to progress to the next level

Participants complete a 10-question Meritocracy Check and receive one of three maturity levels. The webinar will explore what these levels mean in practice and what it takes to move forward — with a focus on fairness, transparency, and equal opportunities in key talent decisions.

Open to all & free of charge
