Diversity Calculator

Gender distribution
Ethnicity distribution
Gender Diversity Score
Ethnicity Diversity Score
This calculator shows how evenly employees are distributed across categories like gender or ethnicity. The index ranges from 0 to 1, with higher scores indicating more even representation. However, it only reflects numerical diversity and doesn’t account for inclusion or intersectionality—such as whether diverse employees feel valued or how multiple identities intersect. It’s recommended to use this alongside other methods to fully understand and improve diversity in your organization.
How does this calculator work?

Interpretation: This calculator measures workplace diversity using Blau’s Index. Higher scores (closer to 1) reflect more even representation across categories, while lower scores indicate a concentration in fewer categories. In this case, with five groups, the maximum possible score is 0.80, indicating perfect evenness across all groups.
