The Multiple Pathways Initiative Measurement Working Group focused on developing methods for measuring company progress towards adopting skills-based practices. Companies need a way to understand how their skills-based practices lead to greater diversity, equity and inclusion across their companies, especially for candidates and employees without four-year degrees, who have historically lacked access to economic opportunity and mobility. The Measurement Working Group developed a comprehensive framework that:

• Guides companies in measuring their rate of adoption of skills-based practices, and the impact of those practices on their employees, their business and society broadly
• Includes specific metrics to capture impact on non-degree-holders to help companies understand and address outcomes differences between degree-holders and non-degree-holders
• Has been co-developed, tested and approved by corporate leaders with significant experience in HR and DEI
