The RACE Code methodology is a diagnostic assessment framework for EDI, a tool designed to help organisations understand their current position, identify areas for improvement, and hold themselves accountable for progress. The framework is the result of a comprehensive process that begins with a thorough review of an organisation’s documentation, complemented by a survey that allows organisations to benchmark themselves. This initial step allows us to address systemic issues that may be hindering EDI progress.
Following this, we facilitate a self-assessment against our 12 governance principles of the tgf governance framework. This, along with our EDI maturity framework provides a clear picture of the organisation’s governance structure and its alignment with EDI goals. The culmination of this process is the development of a report which identifies high level actions and areas of focus and a more detailed action plan tailored to the organisation’s specific needs and circumstances.
Our RACE Code methodology creates a targeted approach to address underrepresentation in the board and leadership. Simultaneously, it adopts a universalist approach, ensuring that insights gained from focusing on race for example benefits all protected characteristics.
The impact of this work cannot be overstated; EDI is not just about compliance. It is about creating a culture of inclusion where everyone can contribute their best work. It is about recognising the value of diversity and the innovation it brings. Our Quality Mark provides an independent part of the process, in which organisations are able to embed their recommendations and share them with internal and external stakeholder groups.
