Engagement impact simulator - Guide What this tool does. This simulator predicts how much employee engagement will improve when you invest in DEI initiatives. It's based on real research from McKinsey and other major studies, so the numbers are credible for your leadership team. How to use It 1. Select your base improvement / company size colored curves you see on Europe only example. 12 base (appropriate for intimate team dynamics) Tiny (2-49 people, like theQ) are blue(ish). 15 base (matches small business DEI research) Small companies (50-250) are green. 20 base (aligns with mid-market studies) Medium (251-1,000) are yellow / orange and purple. 25 base (reflects corporate-scale potential) Large (1,000+) are red and brown. Each size has different potential because DEI works differently at different scales and regions. 2. Honestly assess your current DEI maturity level from: 1-5.Level 1 means you're just starting with basic policies. Level 3 means you have structured programs and training. Level 5 means you're an industry leader. Most companies start around Level 2-3. 3. Choose your primary region. Europe gets a 1.2x (bonus because of strong regulations like GDPR and AGG). Middle East is the baseline at 1.0x.Africa gets 1.15x.Latin America gets 1.1x.
