Alda had an incredible experience at UNLEASH World 2024, where we had the opportunity to engage with global HR leaders, showcase our innovative DEI solutions, and share insights on building truly inclusive workplaces.

One of the standout moments for us was participating as a finalist in the UNLEASH Startup Awards—an honour that highlights the impact of Alda’s gamified micro-learning, Inclusion Index, and AI-powered action plans. Our presentation on the Innovation Stage sparked meaningful discussions about how DEI can be made more engaging, scalable, and sustainable.

Why Alda Stands Out in the DEI Landscape

In an exclusive Startup Spotlight interview with UNLEASH, Alda CEO Thorey Proppe shared how Alda is reshaping DEI with a data-driven, scalable, and engaging approach.

🔹 A Comprehensive DEI Solution: Unlike fragmented DEI tools, Alda provides a fully digitalised, all-in-one platform that integrates assessments, goals, and KPIs into a long-term strategy.

🔹 Global Scalability: Alda’s platform is designed for multinational companies, offering tailored action plans, benchmarking against the Inclusion Index, and personalised micro-learning journeys.

🔹 Engaging Majority Groups: To drive real change, DEI must be inclusive of everyone. Alda’s approach helps majority groups understand the value of inclusion and actively engage in the process.

The Power of Data in Driving Inclusion

Thorey emphasised that data is the key to effective DEI strategies:

"It’s very difficult to drive a DEI journey without proper assessments or benchmarking. Data acts as a powerful empathy driver, helping privileged groups understand different workplace experiences and inspiring them to drive change."

This aligns with the growing importance of social sustainability in ESG strategies, where DEI is increasingly seen as a critical business priority.

What’s Next for Alda?

As we look ahead, Alda’s strategic focus includes:

🔹 Expanding into the US market and onboarding more enterprises globally.
🔹 Enhancing gamification in micro-learning to boost engagement.
🔹 Advancing AI-driven DEI solutions, including tailored action plans and smart recommendations.

The Future of DEI: A Shift Towards Inclusion

Thorey highlighted a key trend for HR leaders in the next 12 months:

"While DEI discussions have traditionally focused on diversity, leaders are now recognising the urgent need to prioritise inclusion. Diversity alone does not drive impact—inclusion must be at the core of every organisation’s strategy."
