About

Welcome to the Competence Center for Diversity, Disability and Inclusion (CCDI). We are part of the Institute for International Management and Diversity Management IIDM-HSG at the University of St. Gallen.

The Competence Center for Diversity, Disability and Inclusion (CCDI) at the Institute for International Management and Diversity Management at the University of St.Gallen is one of Switzerland's leading research institutes in the Diversity & Inclusion (DE&I) field. Our work is evidence-based and focuses on practice-oriented research such as diversity benchmarking, salary analysis, and analysis of HR processes and organisational culture. In addition, we offer consulting services as well as various training courses. The CCDI conducts cutting-edge research on several topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion and exclusion, work-life balance, and many more.

Therefore, the CCDI works closely with Swiss and international companies, universities, and the public sector to promote DE&I within these organisations.
