Our Verification Process

For Includability Committed Employers, the verification process is a comprehensive assessment of a business’s commitment to D&I, Sustainability, Wellbeing, Mental Health, Talent Management, and Leadership & Governance. It begins with a 65-question Company Commitment Survey (CCS), establishing a benchmark of current practices. This is followed by six independent 30-minute verification calls with expert partners, assessing key areas such as policies, workplace inclusion, talent attraction, and mental health support.

The process provides businesses with expert insights, actionable recommendations, and official recognition as an Includability Committed Employer.

The Includability Verification Report

Upon completing the verification process, businesses receive a detailed Verification Report outlining their strengths, areas for improvement, and tailored recommendations across D&I, Sustainability, Wellbeing, Mental Health, Talent Management, and Leadership & Governance. This includes an HR roadmap with practical next steps to enhance workplace culture and employer branding.

To support ongoing development, businesses gain exclusive access to discounted training and workshops through the Includability Marketplace, alongside community benefits, expert insights, and networking opportunities. This ensures they have the tools and resources to continue their journey towards a more inclusive, sustainable, and successful business.
