Your CCDI Team
Where do you stand in comparison to your competitors?
The HSG Diversity Benchmarking is Switzerland’s largest benchmark for diversity and inclusion. The St.Gallen Diversity Benchmarking provides facts, concrete fields of action, and recommendations for all important HR processes, from recruitment to pipeline management and career planning.
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.
Could your organization benefit from hands-on workshops on topics such as unconscious bias, DE&I, or anti-racism?
Whether for the private or public sector or university context, our workshops and trainings range from general awareness seminars for employees and supervisors to highly individualized workshops and coaching of teams, management or hiring committees.

Would you like to develop or solidify a DE&I strategy? Do you already have a DE&I strategy but would like to make it more robust?
The DE&I strategy is considered the basis of the systemic approach to successfully implementing DE&I. Our experts will help you identify the relevant elements for your DE&I plan and elaborate on the strategy. Our many years of expertise will help you reach your goal.
How satisfied are your employees? Do they feel a sense of belonging and that they are treated fairly?
With our scientifically grounded survey and analysis tools, we help companies gain deeper insights into how their employees experience inclusion. Our methods allow for a detailed examination of patterns, challenges, and potentials within the corporate culture.
