SBIR Phase I: OptDiverse: Innovative Technology to Enhance Workforce Diversity, Capabilities, and Performance

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目旨在设计一种算法方法，并开发试点软件，以支持劳动力多样性规划和管理。该技术将检查多样性政策和计划与员工个人之间的因果关系，从而准确预测未来几年的公司多样性指标。该系统还将允许人力资源专业人员选择满足其多样性目标所需的最佳政策和计划，同时最大限度地减少总计划成本。许多组织都在寻求增加员工多样性的方法。此外，这些组织对预测其未来劳动力的多样性非常感兴趣。OptTek提出的系统将满足这两个关键需求。 在一个组织投资数十亿美元来创建和维护多样化劳动力的市场中，该技术有望支持更有效和高效的决策。

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project seeks to design an algorithmic approach and develop pilot software to support workforce diversity planning and management. The technology will examine the cause and effect relationships between diversity policies and programs and individual employees, allowing for accurate prediction of company diversity metrics in future years. The system will also allow human resource professionals to select the optimal set of policies and programs required to meet their diversity objectives while minimizing total program costs. Many organizations are seeking ways to increase workforce diversity. Additionally, these same organizations are keenly interested in predicting the diversity of their future workforce. OptTek's proposed system will address both of these critical needs. In a market where organizations invest billions of dollars to create and maintain diverse workforces, the technology is expected to support more effective and efficient decisions.
