Seramount’s Pathway to Inclusion: Prioritizing Threats to Employee Inclusion

As inclusion leaders face heightened scrutiny and tighter resources, the ability to diagnose where inclusion is breaking down—and prioritize the right responses—has never been more critical. Building on Seramount’s Pathway to Inclusion research, this next phase helps leaders move from measurement to meaning. The Executive Summary outlines how to identify the greatest risks to inclusion within your workforce and prioritize the most actionable solutions with confidence, rigor, and legal clarity in today’s polarized environment.

To support this work, Seramount’s Inclusion Data Decoder and Threat Prioritization Matrix translate insight into action. The Inclusion Data Decoder helps leaders synthesize survey results alongside qualitative input—such as focus groups, listening sessions, and program data—to pinpoint the root causes behind inclusion challenges across four common threat areas. The Threat Prioritization Matrix then enables disciplined decision-making, using structured diagnostic questions and a 2×2 impact–feasibility assessment to determine which two or three threats warrant focused action planning. Together, these tools ensure leaders target the risks that matter most, and prioritize where they can make the greatest impact.
