The Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) Assessment is an online benchmarking tool developed specifically for construction firms to measure and improve the management of their current diversity & inclusion programs, policies, and practices. Your company will be asked to answer performance-based questions in four key areas of diversity and inclusion:

• Workplace
• Workforce
• Vendors (Subcontractors/Suppliers)
• Community

Upon completion, companies will be able to analyze results, measure progress, and download best practice resources to expand D&I efforts. As the Assessment becomes widely used, companies will also be able to benchmark their practices against other firms in the construction industry. For more information, please read our FAQ’s here.

After purchase, go to www.agc.org/culture-assessment and log in with your AGC username and password to access the D&I Assessment. Users will be granted access to the platform for 12 months from the date of purchase.  A new subscription purchase will be required every 12 months to maintain access to both the current year and prior year’s results.
