One of the most challenging issues facing organizations is to place a value on the benefits of diversity. Many diversity professionals and others interested in diversity have asked the following questions:
 |
How will we be able to demonstrate that diversity contributes to the organization’s bottom line? |
|
How do we show senior executives and others that diversity is a strategic business partner that is aligned and linked to the goals and objectives of the organization? |
|
How can we measure, with credibility, the impact of diversity on organizational performance? |
|
What strategic diversity processes help an organization excel in the domestic and global marketplace and provide favorable returns to stockholders and stakeholders? |
If your organization is like most, you have probably found it challenging to answer these questions.

Class size is Limited. Early registration is highly recommended
The certification process can be conducted internally or in a public format.
Customized, internal certification is available for an organization where the number of participants makes it economically feasible (usually 10 or more) when compared to public versions in the internal version, schedule, structure, delivery, format, and certain parts of the content can be customized to meet the specific needs of the organization. This is ideal for preparing a team that has been charged with implementation of the DROI® methodology.
Public certifications are offered in different locations and usually hosted by an organization. The host organization provides facilities and support for the workshop.
Typical hosts are currently involved in the implementation of DROI® methodology. Public certifications are offered in the USA and in countries outside the USA.

A commonly asked question focuses on the value of the certification process itself – what does it mean for both the participant and the participant’s employer?
From the employer’s perspective, certification provides assurance that the participant is capable of implementing the DROI® methodology and conducting DROI® impact studies. This certification is the only process available to provide the employer with the evidence and assurance about capability in measurement and evaluation, including diversity return on investment.
This certification is becoming an important credential for selecting, placing, compensating, and promoting employees in measurement assignments. The individuals who possess this unique capability are often in demand, and command higher salaries in the marketplace. Certain jobs have this certification as one of the prerequisites.
From the participant’s perspective, certification is the validation of specific skills and knowledge. The principle advantage of certification is the self-satisfaction and confidence in having prescribed skills necessary to implement the DROI® methodology.
In addition, certification is often important in securing, maintaining, and progressing in measurement and evaluation opportunities. Certification is often a prerequisite for involvement in benchmark studies, panel discussions, invitations to speak at conferences, writing articles, and publishing case studies. A variety of magazines, journals, and trade publications want certified individuals to develop articles or serve as a reviewer of a book, article, or case study.
The records of participants who have completed the certification process are housed in the DM&P Institute, Inc. Less than one-half of those completing the workshop have actually achieved the certification. Some participants want to build skills without necessarily demonstrating the success of skill building. Others move to other responsibilities; still others decide not to submit evidence of accomplishment.
