Google is a fantastic product, but here is why relying on Google for your inclusive scheduling is a bad idea.

Your Diversity Calendar is a private resource for your organization only and cannot be shared publicly, including copying the content from within the calendar and sharing it publicly. It is acceptable to share some screenshots with a small excerpt.

There are several ways to promote the calendar within your organization, including integrating it with your organization’s calendar (Outlook, Google, etc.), embedding within your intranet and Slack or Teams, sharing the calendar PDFs, our subscriber newsletters, and links from the calendar, and much more.

We continuously share resources on how to promote your calendar within your organization, and your Customer Success Manager can support you further.

Obtaining precise analytics on how your team interacts with the Diversity Calendar within Outlook is challenging. This limitation arises because the data resides within your own Outlook environment, which we cannot access. We cannot differentiate between routine email activities and specific engagements with diversity events.

While we can track how frequently your Outlook pings the calendar for updates, Outlook doesn’t permit identifying the exact number of employees involved.

To effectively measure engagement, we recommend promoting clicks to the web-based version of the Diversity Calendar. Accessing the calendar doesn’t require employees to log in or sign up, allowing for easy access and sharing of calendar links across your communication platforms.
