Case Study: the state of Inclusion of women in cybersecurity
Our Approach: Beginning in February 2023, Aleria facilitated a series of workshops with more than 300 women in cybersecurity. Participants used our confidential, interactive Measuring Inclusion platform to anonymously share their experiences and workplace realities. This generated a robust dataset capturing the lived experience of women across the field.
Outcome: The workshops revealed clear patterns of exclusion, systemic barriers, and the specific moments that most affected women’s engagement and retention. The resulting insights provided industry leaders with a first‑of‑its‑kind view into the State of Inclusion for women in cybersecurity and highlighted where targeted interventions would create the greatest improvement.
Case Study: uncovering barriers to gender Inclusion in financial services
Our approach: The Financial Women’s Association (FWA) partnered with Aleria to quantify how inclusion—or the lack of it—was shaping the experiences of women in financial services. Using our human‑centric approach, we captured detailed accounts of exclusionary incidents and analyzed how these experiences influenced satisfaction, performance, and retention.
Outcome: The assessment uncovered the specific barriers most affecting women’s day‑to‑day work and revealed how these experiences were impacting organizational outcomes. Leaders gained clarity on which behaviors and processes were driving disengagement, enabling them to prioritize high‑impact changes and build more inclusive environments.
CASE Study: Supporting AstraZeneca’s global finance team in driving inclusion
Our approach: Aleria partnered with AstraZeneca’s Global Finance team across 32 countries to measure their State of Inclusion. Using our platform and analytics, we identified where employees were experiencing exclusion, which business processes were contributing to it, and which groups were most affected. We then worked with leaders to translate these insights into targeted tactical and strategic changes.
Outcome: AstraZeneca gained clear visibility into the real drivers of exclusion and aligned leadership around a shared understanding of inclusion challenges. The team undertook targeted enhancements to essential business functions, reinforced their dedication to assessing inclusion, and strategically concentrated resources on areas offering the greatest potential for impact.
Measuring The Invisible: why & how you should measure inclusion
Aleria developed a science‑based framework that shifts the focus from diversity outcomes to the underlying inclusion conditions that create them. The e‑guide outlines how organizations can measure inclusion with precision, uncover hidden barriers, and use data to drive meaningful change.
Therefore, leaders come to see that inclusion, rather than just diversity, is what truly fuels performance, innovation, and keeping talent. The framework equips organizations with a practical, evidence‑based path to improving culture and achieving sustainable results.
