Quantitative indicators of diversity : content or packaging? = Kvantitativa mångfaldsindikatorer : innehållsförteckning eller paketering?

This study explores the possibilities of measuring diversity in organisations. In the fi rst section of the study we develop three quantitative dimensions of diversity: the Total Dimension that measures horizontal and vertical representations, the Role-model Dimension that measures representation at the top level of the organisation, and the Services Dimension that measures the organisation’s ‘diversity sensitivity’. These three dimensions or measures were developed and critically discussed before being tested on Malmö city’s administration, i.e. the central offi ce and the health and social service supply.
