Responsibility and awareness of managers

What can be done

Managers at all levels held responsible for realizing diversity goals
- Diversity can be set as a clear goal and made explicit for management practices (e.g. KPIs)
- Each department could include concrete targets about diversity in mid term planning and managers held responsible for reaching these targets
- Final responsibility could be made with line managers but top managers also accountable
  - Accountable for e.g. women turnover and promotion
Managing diversity is included in mandatory training and orientation of new managers

Managing diversity can be one of the core competencies used to assess managers’ performances
Diversity goals could be tied to managers compensation and bonuses
Regular measurements and reporting to the top management might strengthen the responsibility
Some companies choose ‘diversity champions’ among their managers and make it public
