Diversity

Context

Government-funded construction projects often require general contractors (GCs) to meet diversity goals—such as a minimum percentage of women, local workers, or apprentices on a project. Traditionally, this process was managed using Excel spreadsheets that GCs emailed to hundreds of subcontractors on a weekly basis.
This system created multiple challenges: subcontractors frequently forgot to fill out their spreadsheets, data was inconsistent, and tracking compliance across hundreds of submissions became nearly impossible.
The Diversity Management platform was built to solve this complexity, streamlining reporting for both GCs and subcontractors.

Design Challenge

Replace the manual Excel + email workflow with a centralized digital solution.
Enable GCs to easily create projects with specific diversity goals.
Notify subcontractors automatically when it’s time to submit their weekly reports.
Reduce repetitive work for subcontractors who reported on the same workforce week after week.
Give GCs a clear, real-time view of their project’s diversity performance.

Solution Overview

Diversity Project Setup: GCs can define project-specific diversity goals (e.g., % women, % local workers, % apprentices).
Automated Notifications: The system reminds subcontractors when it’s time to submit their weekly diversity reports.
Smart Timesheets: Subcontractors enter worker details once, and each week the system auto-generates a new timesheet pre-filled with previous week’s data. Subs simply review, adjust, and submit.
Automatic Calculations: The platform instantly calculates how many diverse workers are on the project and how goals are tracking.
GC Dashboard: GCs can monitor progress in real time without chasing down subcontractors or manually reconciling spreadsheets.

Impact

Reduced Administrative Burden: Eliminated manual email follow-ups and spreadsheet management.
Time Savings for Subs: Workers are pre-filled week to week, requiring only minor updates.
Real-Time Compliance: GCs can see at a glance whether diversity goals are being met.
Higher Submission Rates: Automated reminders and easier forms increased subcontractor compliance.
Transparency & Accountability: Both GCs and subcontractors gain confidence that diversity reporting is accurate, consistent, and up to date.
