Workforce Equity, Inclusion & Diversity

Access to Executive Education

IMD will continue to promote and enable workforce diversity and inclusion. A new inclusion index, in the employee engagement survey, will offer data to assess and act on to enhance inclusive leadership as well as an inclusive working environment. IMD will add to job profiles and HR documents an officially articulated commitment to equal opportunity, regardless of creed, race, gender, sexual orientation, and disability. The COVID-19 pandemic has radically changed the way IMD delivers its programs, reducing IMD’s impact on the environment related to faculty and participant travel. As participants return to campus and restrictions ease: IMD expects to continue to incorporate technology in its programs to reduce the need for travel. IMD also plans to develop emissions targets and develop a roadmap for reduction through new policies and more sustainable campus operations practices. Mobility and Emissions

IMD is committed to proactively increasing access to, and diversity in, its programs. The institute aims to move its degree program composition towards gender parity over the next few years. IMD will focus on fundraising to generate scholarship support for program participants from diverse backgrounds. IMD will also support exceptional women to excel in their careers, in particular women who may not otherwise be able to afford a top- tier business education. IMD will continue its attention in 2022 to the evaluation of accessibility for people with disabilities. (AAQ Report)
