Metrics should be used to evaluate how well the
organization is doing on their diversity and inclusion
program.  These proposed metrics are for the US

program is challenging given regional variations in
the demographics of the populace in other countries.
For example, metrics typically around race and
ethnicity tend to be much used in the United States.
