Diversity Check for management: results, effort, costs
Someone in your organisation sent you this page. Here, in two minutes, is what you need to know before you say yes or no.
You have committed to diversity: the Charta der Vielfalt (Germany’s diversity charter), a mission statement, a careers page. The Diversity Check examines whether that reaches everyday life – in job interviews, in promotions, in meetings. Diversity consulting with a clear result and clear costs: no seal of approval, no 40-page report. That applies to companies just as it does to universities, public administration and associations – there, to the executive board, a directorate or a division head.
Five answers
1
What comes out of it?
An action plan: who does what, by when. Prioritised, with responsibilities – a table instead of a report. You’ll find an example row further down.
2
How much effort for your organisation?
How many interviews there are and how long they take depends on the package; we agree that with you individually. Mainly online. No workshops for you to organise.
3
What does it cost?
Start from €2,000, Pro €10,000, Premium from €25,000, all prices net, plus VAT. If you start with the Start package and want to go deeper, its price is credited in full.
4
How confidential is it?
We conduct the interviews in a confidential setting and produce an overall picture without names or individual statements. All three of us evaluate; results go to you, not to the public.
5
How do we start?
With an initial consultation (30 to 60 minutes, free of charge) and, if you wish, with the Start package: the Outside Check. A small entry point whose price is credited in full.
What a row in the action plan looks like
Promotions: Put the criteria for the next round of management appointments in writing and make them available to everyone involved in advance. Responsible: Head of HR. By: end of the second quarter. Check-up: Were the criteria applied, and who was promoted?
What management asks us
“But we’re already well positioned.”
Then the Outside Check shows exactly that – and the points where things nevertheless get stuck. The Start package is enough for that.
“Do we get a seal of approval we can advertise with?”
No. Seals of approval and labels assess paper. We assess culture. What you get is a plan that changes your organisation, not your website.
“Are you working against us here?”
No. We measure you against your own commitment. What we see, we discuss with you in the sparring session, and we develop the measures together.
“Will there be a report at the end that nobody reads?”
No. The action plan is a table with responsibilities and deadlines. After six months we look with you at what has been done.
Who you’ll be talking to
Jasmin Matthies (business psychologist MSc, systemic counsellor DGSF, formerly HR), Né Fink (systemic counsellor, diversity training) and Blu Doppe (diversity trainer, systemic counsellor and therapist DGSF). Three perspectives, one result.
Want HR to set this up?
For the person who implements the Check in your organisation there's a dedicated page with the process, the effort and the choice of package.

Say yes without risking much
The Start package is the entry point: one interview, one sparring session, one compact report – its price credited in full if you want to go further.
