The Aotearoa Inclusivity Matrix is an evidence-based framework that allows organisations to identify the maturity of their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices across seven components.

This framework was developed for the unique dynamics experienced by workplaces across Aotearoa New Zealand.

The seven components that form part of a strategic approach to DEI are:

• Leadership
• Diversity infrastructure
• Diverse recruitment
• Inclusive career development
• Bi-culturalism
• Inclusive collaboration
• Social impact 

Supported by a suite of AIM Insights assessment tools available to our members, the framework can be used to analyse an organisation’s practices in each of these seven components across five maturity levels, ranging from starter to advanced.
