Welcome to the Competence Centre for Diversity and Inclusion (CCDI). We are part of the Research Center for International Management at the University of St. Gallen (FIM-HSG).
Our centre of expertise provides organisations with targeted support, advice and training on diversity, inclusion, equality, anti-racism and unconscious bias. Our work is evidence-based and focuses on practical research such as diversity benchmarking, salary analysis, HR process analysis and organisational culture. We also offer consultancy and a range of training courses. The CCDI conducts cutting-edge research on various topics, including diversity management, equality, inclusion and exclusion, work-life balance and much more. The CCDI works closely with Swiss and international companies, universities and the public sector to promote diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) in these organisations.

Create transparency about your wage practices
Wage analyses benefit those who are disadvantaged regarding salaries, as well as other groups. As a company, you benefit from presenting yourself as an attractive employer to potential new employees, and current employees feel they are being treated fairly. You can fulfil the requirement to take on government contracts through wage analyses.
