in the last few days I read a lot about diversity dashboards as a new instrument to improve diversity and inclusion in work environments.
This may work in the UK or in the US.
But in Germany, it is culturally unimaginable just to ask employees about their race or ethnic origin, their religion (beyond what is necessary to do pay role/or if the employer is a church) or belief, their sexual orientation or identity, or any other potentially diverse attribute. It is strictly forbidden to record and evaluate this in personnel information systems. Interestingly, gender has always been recorded and evaluated. Probably because it was needed in the past to address the employee formally in German.
