The prompt

Our {{client}}] is committed to improving diversity and inclusion but isn't sure where to start. Build a comprehensive DEI strategy.

Include: (1) Current state assessment – what does workforce composition look like? Representation data? Where are the gaps? (2) Recruitment & hiring – how do we attract diverse talent? Remove bias from hiring? (3) Advancement & retention – do diverse employees advance at same rate? Why or why not? (4) Inclusive culture – what can we do to create environment where everyone belongs? (5) Accountability – how do we measure progress? Link to compensation? (6) Quick wins & roadmap – what can we start this quarter? What's multi-year commitment?

Include a DEI scorecard, 100-day action plan, and hiring strategy. Make it credible.

Why this works

Diversity drives innovation. Clients increasingly expect DEI leadership.

Risks & review
