Making Inclusive Writing Practical, Collaborative, and Eye-Opening **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mikkel Damberg H. | TA Lead, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 11, 2025 **What do you like best about Develop Diverse?** Develop Diverse has really helped us shift how we think and write - not just in terms of gendered language (which we expected), but in being more inclusive across age, neurodiversity, ability, and more. It’s been a surprisingly effective way to bring the broader DEI conversation into something tangible and actionable. The implementation process was super smooth and quick, mostly because the tool is quite simple to use in itself. It’s intuitive from the start, and the visual feedback makes it really easy to understand where and how you can improve. It makes collaboration smoother. We could easily show the value to the more skeptical crowd - having hiring managers see the suggestions in real time made a big difference. The suggestions themselves are smart and make sense in the context of the whole sentence, which helps avoid that awkward “find and replace” feel. While the tool helps promote our value of being kind, the fact that it’s kind of playful (you can aim for that perfect score!) made it easier for people to understand. **What do you dislike about Develop Diverse?** We work in an industry with a lot of jargon and role-specific language that needs to stay in our job posts as it relates to our products. While we can whitelist certain terms, it would be a huge plus if the tool could learn to recognize context - like when a word should be flagged and when it’s just part of how we talk about the work. A bit more adaptability there would make a great tool even better. **What problems is Develop Diverse solving and how is that benefiting you?** Furthering DEI on the agenda ### 2. Language matters. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 20, 2025 **What do you like best about Develop Diverse?** A human-centric approach to writing text that's both easy to use and builds collaboration across the team. **What do you dislike about Develop Diverse?** The employer branding text-editor is mostly just a text editor, a few more bells and whistles could be added here to help on that side of the TA stack. **What problems is Develop Diverse solving and how is that benefiting you?** Quite simply, language is everything and having a shared language in an organization is harder than ever in the age of LLM's. This tool helps you shape culture through language that's inviting and free from discrimination. In short, to me it's one of the most impactful tools in our toolbox and a must have for modern organizations. ### 3. Eliminating bias and promoting Inclusive writing in Recruitment **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kristoffer H. | Global HR Process Lead, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2024 **What do you like best about Develop Diverse?** Develop Diverse has significantly improved our Talent Attraction and Acquisition process. The platform is user-friendly and integrates seamlessly with our existing recruitment tools, particularly the integration to Microsoft Word, making it easy to ensure inclusivity in our job postings. Since implementing the Develop Diverse platform, we've seen a notable increase in the diversity and quality of our candidate pool. Our job ads now attract a broader audience, greatly enriching our talent pool and bolstering our reputation as an inclusive employer. One of the standout features of Develop Diverse is that it is based on extensive research. This foundation ensures that the suggestions and insights provided are not only practical but also scientifically validated, giving us confidence in the effectiveness of the tool. The educational component of Develop Diverse and the Inclusive Writing Editor is outstanding. It not only suggests inclusive language but also explains why certain terms may be biased, raising awareness and educating our team of Hiring Managers. This has empowered us to make more informed communication decisions. Support from Develop Diverse has been exceptional, with responsive and knowledgeable assistance that ensures we maximize the platform's potential. Their commitment to continuous improvement and innovation keeps us equipped with the latest tools and insights. In conclusion, Develop Diverse has been a big improvement to our recruitment efforts, helping us attract a diverse and qualified candidate pool while fostering an inclusive workplace culture. I highly recommend it to any organization aiming to enhance their recruitment practices. **What do you dislike about Develop Diverse?** The platform is still limited to support three languages; English, Danish, and Swedish - which limits the utilization of the tool in some of our local markets. Also the platform is not directly integrated with our ATS, which would enhance the user experience. However, we do know that DD is working on an integration! Can't wait for it! **What problems is Develop Diverse solving and how is that benefiting you?** Develop Diverse addresses the problem of biased language in recruitment materials, which can unintentionally exclude diverse candidates. By identifying and suggesting more inclusive language, the platform helps us create job postings that appeal to a broader audience. This has led to a more diverse and qualified candidate pool, enhancing our talent acquisition efforts and reinforcing our commitment to inclusivity. ### 4. An inclusivity editor. A tangible way to understand the Diversity, Equlity and Inclusion agenda. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Signe L. | Head of People & Culture, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2024 **What do you like best about Develop Diverse?** The Develop Diverse Inclusivity Editor is a powerful tool that brings the DEI agenda to life in a meaningful, actionable way. This editor doesn’t just check boxes or offer surface-level changes; it dives deep into language to guide users toward more inclusive communication. One of the standout features is its ability to detect gendered, ageist, or culturally biased language and suggest inclusive alternatives in real-time. This is incredibly valuable for anyone writing job descriptions, team announcements, or even marketing materials. By using the editor, I became more mindful of the subtle biases in language and became more aware of my communication style. It’s like having a DEI expert by your side, providing on-the-spot education that helps refine your vocabulary in alignment with diversity goals. Beyond the editor's practical utility, I really appreciate how it empowers everyone in an organization to engage with the DEI mission. It's a proactive approach that promotes change from within, cultivating an environment where inclusivity is built into the foundation of everyday interactions. The Develop Diverse Inclusivity Editor goes beyond compliance and offers a genuine path to understanding and embodying DEI values. **What do you dislike about Develop Diverse?** I'm excited about how the Develop Diverse Inclusivity Editor will develop and become more agile and AI-based. **What problems is Develop Diverse solving and how is that benefiting you?** For us, this means we’re better equipped to align our messaging with our DEI goals, reducing the likelihood of overlooking potential hires due to unintentional bias in our job postings or internal communications. Beyond hiring, it positively impacts our team culture—encouraging everyone to use language that supports a sense of belonging. This ultimately benefits us by enhancing team cohesion, supporting our DEI goals, and positioning us as a welcoming workplace for all. ### 5. A great tool to kickstart awareness towards inclusive language **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 06, 2024 **What do you like best about Develop Diverse?** Develop Diverse is a very intuitive program that quickly and effectively raises awareness and corrects linguistic biases that one may not be aware of. It provides suggestions at both word and sentence level and supports you in not only correcting but also learning when ones language includes and excludes. This is effective and a central tool for me and my team, as it has saved a lot of time by quickly identifying our own linguistic biases and helping to correct them. For now we have the basis which is simple but I am looking forward to implementing the program as an Add in to microsoft word as this seems as an even more simple way to use the program in ones everyday work. **What do you dislike about Develop Diverse?** The least helpfull thing is that it is very clear that it is an amercian/english AI system, and that the language comes from this. When using it on danish post you will often notice that the sentence suggestions is directly translated from english to dansih, and quite often this means that the sentences is sunding a bit wierd. Not that they are wrong but the tone and the words chosen somethimes does not fit the meaning, which i belive comes down to the translation. Further a small frustraion is when it misinterps the use of the meaning. Forexample the word 'leder' which means both 'search' and 'manager' in danish. If you make the sentence 'Are you serching for xxxxx / leder du efter xxx' then it will mark it as not inclusive. This is an issue in my oppinion. **What problems is Develop Diverse solving and how is that benefiting you?** It creates awarenes to our language both internal and external and helps correct this in a simple way. ´´ ### 6.
