How Governance Geek measure the Diversity of your board

11 Dec

Governance Geek has combined a range of demographics to analyse, including a variety of options to broaden organisations’ understanding of their diverse backgrounds and representation.

Governance Geek measures:

· Age range

· Gender identity

· Ethnicity

· Socio-economic background

· Disability

· Sexual orientation

· Religious belief

The diversity part of the Governance Geek report ultimately presents the board’s position on diversity and showcases this next to national demographic data taken from the 2021 Census, whilst providing links for organisations to do further research on regional demographic data.

This enables boards to measure their representation against the national picture. Boards who already understand their stakeholder demographics can enjoy a clear view of how close to stakeholder representation they are.

For those who have challenges with stakeholder strategy, engagement and understanding these demographics, we encourage them to reach out to the Geeks to see if there is any additional support or guidance we can provide.
