TIDE Deepdives
TIDE Deepdives are our new evaluation tools, built on the successful foundation of the overall TIDE
TIDE (Talent Inclusion & Diversity Evaluation) Deepdives look at specific areas of diversity. The first two in the series are Age TIDE and Trans TIDE which were launched in October and November 2018. The following 8 areas are covered in the evaluation:
- Your workforce
- Strategy and plan
- Leadership and accountability
- Recruitment and attraction
- Training and development
- Other employment practices
- Communication and engagement
- Procurement
The Deepdive series will take a closer look at certain diversity characteristics and themes in employment and help you to identify where you currently are with specific areas of Diversity & Inclusion in your organisation. This will help you develop the strategy and plan to drive your Diversity agenda in these specific areas.
TIDE Deepdives are fast and easy to complete, requiring minimal time-consuming evidence gathering.

How do TIDE Deepdives Work?
The Process
TIDE Deepdives are a self-assessment evaluation, which uses Probench, our secure and easy to use online platform.
The main contact receives the registration details within 48 hours after ordering the Deepdive. They can complete the survey directly or ask other people within the organisation to complete it in parts or in its entirety, using a function within the system. They can update their evaluation at any time and receive an up to date report when needed.
Scoring
TIDE Deepdives are a self-assessment and participants must ensure they answer questions accurately so the results represent the organisation fairly.
Responses are scored by applying a set of rules embedded within the TIDE system. Not every question or section is weighted equally.
Each section allows the organisation to upload evidence to support responses. This information will not be used to influence the score but will be used by the enei team to review entries.
Deadlines
TIDE Deepdives are a continuous evaluation available all year round. An example of this - organisations may decide to instantly complete Age TIDE and use the feedback report to highlight areas where they need to act. They can then revisit their entry 6 months later to mark the impact of the actions taken.
Cost
TIDE Deepdives are costed at £1,000 + VAT for enei Members
TIDE Deepdives are costed at £2,000 + VAT for non-Members

Frequently Asked Questions

It will depend on your organisation and how well you know it. The average is likely to be 2 hours.
There is a function to change contrast from the standard black writing on a white background to improve accessibility.

If a Member would like this translated into another language, please contact your Member Engagement Manager or email info@enei.org.uk for further details and costs.
Yes, the TIDE software allows Members to complete the questionnaire on mobile devices, tablets, laptops & desktops.
TIDE is designed to be fast and easy to complete so the requirement for evidence is simply to give enei the ability to review your entry. We do not wish the requirement for evidence to be a burden. You should consider submitting documents that demonstrate your strategy, communications, approach, procedures, frameworks and outcomes.
TIDE Deepdives can be updated whenever you like. Your entry will be saved in the system and you can update the answers and receive a new report as required. The system will save your entry so you will not have to answer every question again and can simply update the answers that have changed. The system will only save your latest entry so if you require a copy of your previous answers and report you should download them before making any changes.
All information submitted is confidential and will not be published. We will not announce who has taken part in the TIDE Deepdives and will ask your.
