Diversity Strategist Trevor Wilson has created an "Equity Continuum," which categorizes organizations into six categories. Essentially, the scale rates a business on the effectiveness of its diversity practices and offers a concrete, empirical tool to measure actual organizational policies, attitudes, practices, and corporate commitment at each point on the scale.
