INCLUSIVE LEADERS GROUP DEFINITION OF RACIAL EQUITY
” Racial equity is about applying fairness and a little bit of common sense to a system that’s been unfair and harmful. Racial equity is a process of eliminating racial disparities and improving outcomes for everyone. It is the intentional and continual practice of changing policies, practices, systems, and structures by prioritizing measurable change in the lives of people of color.”
Charlotte F. Hughes, CEO and Principal Leader, Inclusive Leaders Group

Inclusive Leaders Group Racial Equity Assessments Harper Slade’s Racial Equity Index
Racial Equity Index (REI)
Racial Equity Index (REI)
All progress begins by first understanding the truth. Through confidential, in depth interviews, our Racial Equity Index (REI) surfaces the unwritten social norms within your organization, the perceived strengths and barriers throughout your talent systems, and any variances or inequities as experienced by employees, especially your talent of color. Unfortunately, even with the best of intentions, these variances exist and we will help you unearth and ultimately, address them.
The REI process:
- Illuminates in real time as colleagues hear what might be counter-narratives to their own daily workplace lived experiences.
- Provides powerful insights and suggested solutions to your organization’s most vexing DEI challenges directly from the voice of employees.
- Allows leaders to co-create with employees meaningful change to your organization’s talent systems and culture, where needed, to work for all.
- Relationship and context building with your project team and employee resource groups (ERGs).
- Information gathering sessions where the same set of questions are asked of all participating employees in 1:1’s, small/affinity group, or large group interviews via phone, video conference, or anonymous live chat formats.
- A validation session where employees have the opportunity to learn about emerging themes and validate our initial findings to ensure they were heard correctly, prior to the completion of the final report.
- Preliminary findings shared and iterated with the project team.
- Final report approved by project team and presented to leadership.
The result is strong, internal alignment, as well as a critical path and accountability for advancing racial equity within your organization. The REI is delivered in partnership with Unleashed Strengths Based Consulting and Coaching.
