HSG Diversity Benchmarking

Where does your company stand in terms of DE&I? Find out with the HSG Diversity Benchmarking.

The HSG Diversity Benchmarking is the largest benchmarking in Switzerland on the topic of diversity and inclusion. The HSG Diversity Benchmarking not only provides facts, but also concrete actions and recommendations for all important HR processes, from recruitment to pipeline management and career planning.

Use our interactive dashboards to measure diversity in your organisation, compare your results with industry peers, track your efforts and identify areas for action based on objective data.

Measure and analyse diversity with our benchmarking dashboards

Our Diversity Works platform provides you with comprehensive DE&I analyses in the form of interactive dashboards. 
Understanding the talent flows in your company in terms of age, education, employment percentage, gender, nationality and language is key to defining diversity goals and making informed decisions. Our comprehensive analysis along the HR processes addresses the following key questions:

Who is the company recruiting? We analyse applicant and recruitment data to find out which talent your company is attractive to, who is being hired and which talent pools are going untapped. This knowledge forms the basis for optimising recruitment strategies.

Which employees are leaving the company? Our analyses provide turnover rates for different employee groups compared to your industry and competitors. This enables you to take targeted retention measures.

Are promotions fair? We examine your company's promotion practices and show you how to use your internal talent pool compared to your competitors.

Does the company offer flexible career paths at different stages of life? We measure which career steps are possible along different life paths. You will recognise which development opportunities you provide for which talents.

Which DE&I measures are implemented by companies in your industry? We use an online survey to analyse how DE&I is anchored in companies and which measures companies offer to implement it. You understand where you stand in relation to your industry, where you are ahead of the industry and which measures still have potential in your company.

How can you benefit from the digital HSG Diversity Benchmarking?

Data processing & requirements

To ensure secure data transfer, we will set up an account for you (or the person responsible for providing the data) on the University of St.Gallen SharePoint, where you can upload the data. You will receive an email with the link to your individual folder and further instructions as soon as the data transfer is ready.

Once you have provided us with your company's data, we will review it for inconsistencies with the data requirements and/or previous years. Once the data check is complete, the analyses will be performed and uploaded to your dashboard. We will only upload your company's KPI results - no raw data will be uploaded. In addition, only anonymised results will be provided, i.e. your organisation's name, which identifies the KPI charts, will only be visible to you.
