What is it?

Way beyond engagement it is a deeper way to appreciate organisational culture – a different way to profile and a very different conversation.

mwah.’s Belonging index © quickly understands whether or not the people in your business have a sense of belonging.

Belonging matters to people.

It is about difference and similarity and the basis to be your best, to thrive and to achieve. Helping you understand the culture.

Discussing belonging moves Diversity and Inclusion forward.

Most companies have programs for the representation of different groups and many are focused on the idea of inclusion.
Not so many however consider that ultimately we all need to BELONG.

New understanding of Culture

We’ve long been concerned about the one-dimensional conversation around Culture – a single Engagement Score or a complicated Net Promoter Score (NPS). Both are highly competitive and both are famously ‘gameable’.

On top of that, we kept asking – Did Engagement or NPS really talk about the things that matter most?
Alignment to purpose, values, behaviours, and expectations? Building good relationships? Confidence to contribute your best?

There had to be a better way.

Two years ago, we started looking at ‘Belonging’ from an individual perspective and ‘Alignment’ from an organisational perspective, and then mapping them against each other.

Parameters were put around our design to ensure that the score would be ‘not competitive’ (alignment trumps high scores), and administratively simple.

Wanting a more authentic score that we could use across an organisation, at scale, and within a team, we created a common language around the culture that everyone – from the Board to the job applicant – was confident to use.

We think we achieved that in the Belonging Index ©.

Privilege Index:

An ASX aligned index for addressing privilege and socio-economic diversity.

We’ve long understood that the privilege we’re born with, or grow-up with, has an enormous long term impact on your success.

We now know, courtesy of five years of data, that this is absolutely true.

Then organisations started talking about the silent ‘diversity agenda’ and socio-economic diversity. While this conversation has only just begun, it’s growing fast.

Diversity and Inclusion Identity Index:

Being strategic around diversity and inclusion starts with knowing who’s on your team, and how they identify.

It would be so easy if we fitted into neat boxes, but we don’t.

We’re not solely ‘male, female or non-binary’, we’re also an age, an ethnicity (or three), a socio-economic background, a sexual orientation, a religion, varying levels of physical and neurodiversity, a set of life responsibilities and choices, a series of political or social opinions, and a whole host of life experiences and history.
