Inclusalytics: How Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Leaders Use Data to Drive Their Work

by Victoria Mattingly, Sertrice Grice MS, Allison Goldstein

Inclusalytics is for internal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) leaders who want to take a more data-driven approach to their work. The authors integrate stories from the DEI consulting frontlines, organizational science, and interview data with DEI leaders (from Fortune 500 companies to startups, academia, nonprofits, and more), demonstrating why data is the key to leading successful DEI efforts. Inclusalytics provides DEI and people leaders with a clear and detailed process to demonstrably move the needle closer toward a workplace where everyone can thrive, especially those from underrepresented and historically excluded groups. If you lead DEI efforts within an organization, we wrote Inclusalytics as a step-by-step a guide you can use to validly and reliably gather, measure, track, and utilize data to determine, set, impact, and measure the effectiveness of your DEI strategy and interventions. Treating DEI as a critical business metric is the only way to sustainably commit to—and demonstrate ROI—of your DEI efforts. Organization psychologists, DEI consultants, and business owners, Victoria Mattingly, PhD, and Sertrice Grice, MS partnered with award-winning author Allison Goldstein to convert their technical DEI+data expertise into readable, relatable (and dare we say, ENJOYABLE!) non-fiction masterpieces.

2020 pushed DEI work into the global forefront, but in a manner that made it feel like a pleasantry to placate the historically disadvantaged people in companies, organizations, and society. However Inclusalytics creates the argument and journey that DEI work should be followed and sustained as rigorously as any other outcome within and organization.

I definitely should be on the reading list of DEI and HR practitioners and folks interested in improving systems for all.

This is the first and only book I've found about EDI data collection.
Having a research background myself, I appreciated the methodology and the authors' angle to gather data. This is a great book for anyone who needs to understand the basics of data collection and to apply it to EDI.

I attended a talk that one of the authors gave at an event (Sertrice Shipley), and she handed this book out to the attendees. I am not in HR or DEI, so I would have likely not naturally sought out this material. Her talk, however, opened my eyes to the real impact DEI is having on organizations. I immediately started reading the book after the event and eventually invited her to be on my podcast. This book is gold for anyone passionate about supporting a movement that truly has business impact. The authors give you the tools required to present a compelling case to your leadership team, and great ways to measure how much you are moving the needle on your DEI efforts. The book also educates people new to the DEI world and helps you set a foundation when you don’t even know where to start. Kudos to the authors for educating us on this important topic.

Most DEI books out there are too fluffy. Here is one that is practical, evidence-based, and not attention-attention grabbing. I’ve been applying the learnings to my job as a global lead for DEI in a large global tech firm

Started reading the book via kindle and realized I wanted to read it with a physical book so I could highlight the sh*t out of it because it’s likely a book I will refer back to frequently. It has a lot of very actionable information and has some of the best term definitions I’ve seen.

Very practical book that provides a strong methodology and examples for experienced and beginner practitioners. The quotes throughout the book lend color to the "how" put forward.

Great book to understand the data points that matter when creating SEI.
