Beyond the Checkbox: What Inclusion Audits Reveal About the State of Workplace Inclusion in 2026

About this session

In 2026, inclusion can no longer be measured by policies alone, leaders need clear insight into how inclusion is actually experienced across their organizations. Led by Natasha Broomfield-Reid, Founder and Director of Diverse Matters, learn how inclusion audits uncover the gap between intent and impact, revealing what’s truly working and where organisations are falling short. Drawing on over 25 years of senior DEI leadership experience, Natasha shares what inclusion audits are revealing across sectors and how leaders can turn insight into measurable action.

Key Takeaways

  • Why inclusion audits are a critical strategic tool in 2026—and what they reveal that engagement surveys miss
  • The most common inclusion gaps organisations overlook, and how to address them effectively
  • How leaders can prioritize audit findings to move from good intentions to measurable inclusion impact

This conversation will be eligible for SHRM credits too.
