The Diversity Capability Assessment Tool (GDS®) is a self administered, self-scoring tool that helps leaders embark on a journey of self-discovery that will enhance their competency to manage and value diversity in the workplace.

The Tool builds on the well-known H3 Model (Heart, Hands and Head) and competencies are self-evaluated in three categories

The tool prepares managers and employees, through a process of introspection to:

See themselves and the world with less bias or prejudice;

See beyond differences and work more successfully with people who are different from them;
Make others feel they are valued members of a group or team.

Act with openness, fairness and a spirit of co-operation and generosity towards diverse colleagues.
Adapt behaviours to better communicate and solve problems with diverse colleagues.

By using this exciting new tool teams and organisations will be better able to value differences, manage diversity and leverage their differences toward building:

Enhances employee morale and retention;
Improved service delivery and customer satisfaction;
More innovative problem-solving;
A rock-solid reputation as an employer of choice.

The Tool is being used successfully in the USA, Europe and Australia and is now available in South Africa through Mandate Molefi Human Resource Consultants.
