The New IQ: A Measure of Emotional Intelligence and Inclusivity

Diversity
The New IQ

Today’s workforce is more diverse than ever before, and while diversity offers numerous advantages, many organizations are at a loss when it comes to making their employees feel valued. To help organizations quantify their progress in diversity leadership and management, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) introduced the “New IQ” or inclusion quotient in 2014. The survey is the most modern measure of inclusive intelligence and organizational success. In this course, you will explore the foundations of the New IQ and devise an action plan for incorporating and maintaining the five habits of inclusive leadership.

About the Course

Overview

With an increasingly challenging and diverse workforce, many organizations struggle to provide their employees with a true sense of belonging or to make them feel genuinely valued. This is often due to leaders who fail to foster an inclusive work environment. In order to realize the full potential of their employees, organizations must learn how to properly measure and improve an inherently intangible aspect of group interactions.

To address these issues, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) introduced the “New IQ” or inclusion quotient, which is the measurement of inclusive intelligence — the intentional, deliberate, and proactive acts that increase work group intelligence by making people feel they belong and are valued. Devised in 2014, the New IQ test is the most modern measure of organizational success and was designed for organizations to quantify their progress in diversity leadership and management.

In this intensive two-day course, we guide participants in creating a highly inclusive work culture, while increasing their awareness of the importance of inclusion within their organizations. Participants will engage in a variety of instructor-led discussions, small group exercises, individual exercises, reflections, and more.
