EDGE Empower

EDGE Empower® is a workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) platform developed by EDGE Strategy, a Swiss-based organisation with internationally recognised certification standards.

The platform gives organisations the tools, data, and credibility to act on their equity commitments rather than simply state them. It brings assessment, analytics, compliance management, action planning, and certification preparation into one place, helping HR leaders, Chief People Officers, sustainability teams, and DEI practitioners across multinational organisations close the gap between stated commitments and demonstrable progress for employees, investors, and regulators.

EDGE Empower® analyses equity across three dimensions: what an organisation’s policies and practices say it stands for, what workforce data shows is actually happening, and how employees experience it day to day. The resulting gap analysis drives the platform’s outputs, from advanced data visualisation and dashboards to goal-setting, progress tracking, a customised action plan calibrated to available resources.

Organisations can choose between two configurations depending on the depth of analysis they need:

• EDGE Empower®, which focuses on gender equity by examining pay, representation, progression, and experience disparities between women and men
• EDGE Empower® with EDGEplus, which extends the analysis to intersectional equity across gender identity, LGBTQ+ status, race or ethnicity, age, disability status, socio-economic background, and nationality.

Both tiers are built around five core components that support the end-to-end equity journey:

• EDGE Insights® for in-depth workforce analytics and benchmarking.
• EDGE Knowledge® for access to evidence-based thought leadership and best practices.
• EDGE Connections® for peer learning within a global HR community.
• EDGE Certification® Bootcamp for preparation towards independently verified certification.
• EDGE Compliance Bootcamp for structured navigation of mandatory regulatory reporting obligations.
