Social Impact Assessment Tool
The Social Impact Assessment Tool, formerly known as the EDI Assessment Tool, is designed for destination organizations to progress workplace inclusivity. By contributing to the tool, destinations can assess their strengths and opportunities across social impact components and measure against a robust database of median and industry-leading best practices.
The Social Impact Assessment Tool is free to access, anytime and anywhere. Members can utilize in-platform filtering and downloadable reporting to drive understanding, support meaningful conversations, and guide action.
Extended packages provide access to comprehensive reporting, peer comparison, and consultation with Destinations International's Chief Inclusion Officer. See below for more details.
