Introduction

Developing an inclusive workplace requires an ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion (D&I)

to address inequalities in organizational systems, policies, processes and practices, as well as people’s

conscious and unconscious biases and behaviours.

In today’s increasingly interconnected world, recognizing and leveraging D&I can be critical for

organizations seeking to increase innovation, and enhance their resilience, sustainability and reputation.

Each organization is different and decision makers need to determine the most appropriate approach

for integrating D&I into their strategy and business processes, based on their organizational context.

To achieve D&I objectives, organizations need to be brave and committed to actively tackling sensitive

issues and addressing non-inclusive behaviours and cultural norms, and unfair and discriminatory

organizational practices, whether these are developed by people or associated with technologies.

Fostering a diverse and inclusive organizational culture can enable individuals and teams to thrive

and do their best in conditions that enable effective collaboration and participation. Building fairer,

more inclusive, socially responsible organizations can help people, regardless of identity, background

or circumstance, to access work and develop knowledge, skills and abilities critical to their personal

development and well­being.

This document is relevant to the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: (5) Gender

Equality; (8) Decent Work and Economic Growth; (9) Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure; and (10)

[11]

Reduced Inequality, and is guided by the principles of human rights at work. Additionally, it is linked

to ISO 30408.

This document supports organizations to embed D&I in their workplaces (see Figure 1) by providing

guidance and methods on:
a) prerequisites for demonstrating ongoing commitment to D&I;
b) accountabilities and responsibilities for D&I;

c) approaches to valuing diversity and fostering development of an inclusive workplace; and

d) identifying D&I objectives, opportunities and risks, actions, measures, outcomes and impacts.

Figure 1 — Organizational diversity and inclusion

This document applies to the human resource management life cycle, delivery of products and services,

supply chain relationships, and relationships with external stakeholders to ensure equity, fairness

and equality. It encourages organizations to use a continual improvement plan, do, check and review

approach. It is intended to help organizations achieve D&I objectives, evaluate the impact on people,

communities and society, and meet sustainable development goals. It can also support independent and

external validation of organizational approaches to embedding D&I in the workplace. To facilitate the

use of this document by organizations, a checklist of the document’s D&I actions is included in Annex A.

Human resource management — Diversity and inclusion
1 Scope

This document provides guidance on D&I for organizations, including their governance body, leaders,

workforce and recognized representatives, and other stakeholders. It is intended to be scalable to the

needs of all types of organizations in different sectors, whether in public, private, government or non-

governmental organizations (NGO), regardless of size, type, activity, industry or sector, growth phase,

external influences and country-specific requirements.

This document presents fundamental prerequisites for D&I, associated accountabilities and

responsibilities, recommended actions, suggested measures and potential outcomes. It recognizes

that each organization is different and that decision makers need to determine the most appropriate

approach to embedding D&I in their organization, based on the organization’s context and any

disruptive challenges that emerge.

This document does not address the specific aspects of relations with labour unions or work councils,

or country-specific compliance, legal requirements or litigation.

Introduction

Developing an inclusive workplace requires an ongoing commitment to Diversity and Inclusion (D&I)

to address inequalities in organizational systems, policies, processes, and practices as well as people’s

conscious and unconscious biases and behaviours.

This international standard provides guidelines to organizations on diversity and inclusion, D&I

principles, practices, approaches, methods, and mechanisms, to enable and support equity, fairness,

equality, and accessibility in workplace contexts. It recognizes that each organization is different

and that decision-makers need to determine the most appropriate approach to integrate D&I into the

organization’s business processes, based on the organization’s context. It can also foster consistency

and fairness in the management and development of people in the supply chain, the delivery of the

organization’s products and services, and the interaction with other stakeholders.

This standard includes guidance and methods, and is structured to:

a) Present a set of Principles that demonstrate ongoing commitment to valuing diversity and inclusion

(D&I) that should be fostered by governing bodies and leaders.

b) Provide guidance on D&I Roles and Responsibilities, which includes a Framework, Outcomes,

Actions, and Measures to foster development of an inclusive workplace.
Figure 1 — Diversity & Inclusion Guidance and Methods

c) Identify Roles and Responsibilities that would be accountable for achieving the potential D&I

outcomes.

d) Identify Outcomes of leveraging diversity through inclusiveness, such as increased workforce

engagement, creativity, innovation, productivity, and retention.

e) Identify diversity and inclusion (D&I) Actions (using a plan-do-check-act approach), which can lead

to the desired outcomes.

f) Identify Measures for assessing effectiveness of the D&I Actions to address D&I risks, opportunities,

impacts and outcomes.

[Ref: TC260 30414 HCR]

4.2 Governance. Exemplifying and promoting commitment to D&I through use of organizational

governance systems policies, processes, practices, and operations. Application of effective governance

includes ethics and ethical leadership, integrity, transparency, fairness, equity, equality, harassment and

retaliation prevention, due process, assessment and evaluation, reporting, and independent validation

(where appropriate).

4.3 Accountability for actions. For the organization, accountability to act in a socially responsible

manner that is sustainable for itself, its communities, and societies. For members of the workforce,

accountability to act in a manner that is respectful and inclusive.
© ISO 2019 – All rights reserved 5
---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO/DIS 30415:2019(E)

4.4 Integration. Aligning D&I with organizational, financial, and human resource management

outcomes and impacts.

4.5 Work. Creating an accessible and respectful workplace environment to foster inclusion and a

sense of belonging that enables people to participate and bring their whole selves to work. When the

composition of the workforce is representative of the community in which the organization operates, the

benefits of diversity can be realized by all stakeholders.

4.6 Intersectionality. Recognizing and appreciating different dimensions of diversity in the workplace

and how they interconnect and interrelate. This includes a variety of demographic and other personal

characteristics, the inter-relationship of these.

4.7 Communication. To encourage civil discourse, respectful dialogue and behaviour between

members of the workforce and other stakeholders, organizational communication should be accessible,

multidirectional, and use explicit and implicit inclusive language, images and symbols, a variety of

approaches, methods, and mediums that recognize the different abilities of people to access, understand

and respond to communications in different ways.

4.8 Advocacy. To recognize, champion and value D&I, and to influence and promote inclusive

organizational practice across the organisation and relationships with customers/clients, suppliers,

communities, and other stakeholders.
5 D&I Roles and Responsibilities

Everyone in the organization has a role and responsibility in the realization of the D&I principles, and in

establishing and maintaining an inclusive culture at work. Inclusive behaviours ensure that ideas and

contributions of stakeholders are welcomed and respected. Encouraging feedback from the workforce

and other stakeholders can be used to effectively develop and communicate the importance of D&I

as an organizational strategy, and to influence organizational outcomes and impacts throughout the

entire organisational life cycle and in critical periods of change.

The organization’s governance bodies and senior leadership teams’ commitment to and accountability

for D&I is demonstrated by ensuring that adequate resources and funding of D&I initiatives

and activities is available. D&I responsibility should be designated to people with expertise and

understanding of D&I. People who have designated responsibilities for D&I, people management,

and stakeholder relationships are accountable for planning, implementing and monitoring policies,

processes, and practices, and reviewing their effectiveness in achieving D&I strategic objectives. This

includes recognizing the value of its relationships with customers/clients, suppliers and communities,

and considering the outcomes and impacts of D&I strategic objectives across organizational operations.

5.1 Governance bodies

To ensure that D&I principles and strategic objectives are aligned with the vision, mission, strategy,

systems, an organization’s governance body has responsibility for:

• determining senior leadership accountability for establishing D&I principles and strategic

objectives, including the provision of resources to achieve them, and embedding D&I principles into

the organizational culture.

• demonstrating and role modelling behaviours that are required by the D&I principles, shared values

and beliefs.

• challenging behaviour that is inconsistent with D&I principles and ensuring that people who

challenge inappropriate behaviour, and those who are affected by it, are protected and supported.

• evaluating the organization’s D&I risks and opportunities and progress in meeting its D&I strategic

objectives.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
ISO/DIS 30415:2019(E)
5.2 Organizational Leadership

Organizational leaders, as advocates and champions of D&I, have responsibility for:

• establishing D&I principles and strategic objectives.

• allocating resources to achieve D&I objectives, including sponsorship of initiatives, Employee

Resource Groups (ERGs) and diversity councils where these exist, and others. This includes

allocation of adequate time and support for participating and contributing to the achievement of

D&I strategic objectives.

• facilitating a positive organizational culture by establishing D&I expectations and accountability,

communicating these to all stakeholders, and fostering inclusive relationships and shared values

with an increasingly diverse workforce, consumer base, and supply chains.

• clarifying and role modelling appropriate behaviour; clarifying, challenging and addressing

inappropriate behaviour; and recognizing and rewarding D&I inclusive practices and behaviours.

• directing that systems, policies, processes, and practices meet the D&I principles and strategic

objectives, taking into account challenges, constraints, risks and opportunities.

• considering demographic data, including the implications of intersectionality, when planning,

designing, delivering, measuring and assessing the impact of their products and services on diverse

markets and customers.

• leading the organization’s annual reporting process to ensure that D&I strategic objectives, risks and

opportunities are discussed in a clear narrative description that is supported by robust evidence.

Introduction

Développer un lieu de travail inclusif exige un engagement continu pour la diversité et l’inclusion (D&I)

afin de lutter contre les inégalités dans les systèmes organisationnels, politiques, processus et pratiques

des organismes et contre les préjugés et comportements conscients et inconscients des individus.

La présente Norme internationale fournit aux organismes des lignes directrices sur la diversité et

l’inclusion, leurs principes, les pratiques, les approches, les méthodes et les mécanismes en matière de

diversité et d’inclusion, afin de favoriser et de soutenir l’équité, la justice, l’égalité et l’accessibilité dans

le monde du travail. Elle reconnaît que chaque organisme est différent et qu’il est nécessaire pour les

décideurs de déterminer l’approche la plus appropriée pour intégrer la D&I dans les processus métiers

de l’organisme, en fonction du contexte de celui-ci. Elle peut également favoriser la cohérence et la

justice dans la gestion et l’évolution du personnel de la chaîne d’approvisionnement, dans la livraison

des produits et services de l’organisme et dans l’interaction avec les autres parties prenantes.

La présente norme comprend des recommandations et des méthodes, et elle est structurée de manière à :

a) présenter un ensemble de Principes démontrant un engagement continu pour valoriser la diversité

et l’inclusion (D&I), qu’il convient de promouvoir de la part des instances de gouvernance et des

dirigeants ;

b) fournir des recommandations relatives aux Rôles et responsabilités en matière de D&I, y compris

un Cadre, des Résultats, des Actions et des Mesures pour favoriser le développement d’un lieu de

travail inclusif ;
Figure 1 — Recommandations et méthodes relatives à la diversité et l’inclusion

c) identifier les Rôles et responsabilités qui seraient comptables de la concrétisation des résultats

escomptés en matière de D&I ;

d) déterminer les Résultats de la promotion de la diversité par l’inclusivité, comme l’engagement, la

créativité, l’innovation, la productivité et la fidélisation accrus du personnel ;

e) identifier les Actions en matière de diversité et d’inclusion (D&I) (à l’aide d’une approche PACV)

qui peuvent mener aux résultats souhaités ;

f) déterminer les Mesures d’évaluation de l’efficacité des Actions de D&I pour traiter les risques, les

opportunités, les impacts et les résultats en matière de D&I.

être utilisés par le plus large éventail possible de personnes (modifiée : ISO 27500:2011, 2.3)

Note 1 à l’article : Le concept d’accessibilité comprend toute la gamme de capacités des utilisateurs et ne se limite

pas aux utilisateurs présentant des déficiences ; le but est d’atteindre de hauts niveaux d’efficacité, d’efficience et

de satisfaction des utilisateurs, tout en portant une attention particulière à la gamme complète de capacités et aux

principes de la conception universelle (modifiée : ISO 9241-20:2018, 3.1).

personnes ne présentant pas de déficiences, et pour faire en sorte que les personnes de capacités différentes

puissent apporter leur contribution dans toute la mesure de leurs possibilités.

Note 2 à l’article : Les ajustements peuvent varier selon les circonstances individuelles, mais ils doivent être

efficaces et pratiques. Il peut s’agir, par exemple, d’adapter les locaux, de modifier l’équipement, de veiller à ce que

les informations soient disponibles dans un format accessible, de permettre l’utilisation directe ou avec un

accompagnement de technologies d’assistance, de modifier les heures de travail ou les tâches et d’autoriser les

absences pour traitement et rééducation.

3.4
avantages

dispositions non monétaires prévues dans les politiques, processus et pratiques d’un organisme en

matière de rétribution

Note 1 à l’article : Bien que la rémunération et les avantages soient souvent mentionnés ensemble, l’intention en

définissant les avantages séparément est de décrire la vaste gamme d’éléments non salariaux qu’un organisme

peut offrir (par exemple, congés payés, soins de santé, voitures de fonction, frais de garde d’enfants, repas gratuits

ou subventionnés).

Note 2 à l’article : Bien qu’ils aient une valeur et un coût financiers pour les organismes, par exemple en ce qui

concerne les congés payés, les pensions et les voitures de fonction, ils peuvent être offerts dans le but d’assurer le

bien-être et l’engagement du personnel, notamment au sein de l’organisme.

Note 3 à l’article : Les facteurs financiers, juridiques et socio-économiques influent sur le développement et

l’élaboration des politiques et des pratiques de rétribution d’un organisme.
