Introduction

This tool identifies and measures an organisation’s cultural diversity. The people who form an organisation all belong to different cultural groups and bring along multiple values and perspectives. Those differences have to be acknowledged and appreciated in order to succeed in pursuing a common organisational goal. The CDA provides detailed information regarding cultural homogeneity or diversity which in turn can be used to estimate employees’ differing outlooks and behaviours at work.

Who is it for?

Small teams, cross-departmental units and larger organisations aiming to improve their work climate in order to enhance efficiency. It is effective within the scope of restructuring and integration processes for example, resulting from a merger or acquisition.

What are the benefits?

The CDA allows an organisation to effectively assess and capitalise on the diversity of their workforce. This leads to greater harmony within the organisation by:

Improving team effectiveness and performance,

Strengthening inter-departmental cooperation,

Securing successful restructuring and integration processes,

Enabling long-lasting business relations.
