Impacter has been tested by some of Australia's most progressive companies
“As a small-to-medium enterprise (SME) operating with limited resources and time constraints, Impactor proved to be an user-friendly and intuitive tool. It empowers business owners and managers to self-assess their performance in terms of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The platform not only measures what is already known to the owner or manager but also facilitates team engagement in DEI performance evaluation in a safe and inclusive manner. This inclusive approach provides valuable insights and measurable feedback, serving as a tangible reality check on the extent of progress needed to effectively lead in the realm of diversity, equity, and inclusion. It not only highlights areas requiring improvement but also acknowledges where the business is excelling, enabling the team to celebrate success and establish targets for further enhancement. Ultimately, this experience has imparted a genuinely valuable lesson to our business—by making the invisible visible.”
CFO FBAA
“Wisr was among the first companies to participate in the Impactor app pilot program in November 2022. As a purpose-led company whose mission is to improve the financial wellness of the community in which we operate, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) are at the forefront of mind when making decisions at Wisr. The platform provided valuable insights and measurable feedback that complimented our existing metric-led approach and internal DEI reviews. It also highlighted where we excel, enabling the team to celebrate success and know through third-party verification that our purpose and DEI initiatives promote the integration of diversity at all levels within the organisation, allowing us to embed our high-performance culture from the bottom up, create world-first innovations and build a company of meaningful size and scale."

IMPACTER is a cloud-based software that supports organisations with Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) performance and compliance.
It was developed by gender equity advocate and conscious media company Financy Pty Ltd.
IMPACTER allows teams to utilise robust scoring and evidence-based assessment(s) to review DEI positioning on a quarterly basis from a top down and bottom-up perspective.
Among the key features, IMPACTER provides real-time data via a secure dashboard and best practice actions for business planning and risk management.
IMPACTER provides business owners, HR managers, finance teams and D&I managers among others, with a cloud-based solution to managing and improving DEI business performance.
Central to IMPACTER is a robust self-assessment, which includes 120 questions for employers and 50 for employees. Note this is only applicable to Premium subscribers.
IMPACTER has been developed in consultation with business experts and academics specializing in diversity, equity and inclusion.
IMPACTER has partnered with the University of South Australia’s Centre for Workplace Excellence to set, test and review the Impacter assessments and unique scoring algorithms.
All of the questions included across the IMPACTER are based on best practices strategies and recommendations in the Australian and global markets that have been shown to contribute to a positive impact on DEI.
IMPACTER provides clarity on DEI by giving employers the ability to regularly assess their efforts in real-time, against Australian benchmarks and the performance of other organisations.
By leaning into clarity, employers can face up to their current performance and be educated on actions to plan for the future and manage risks.
Unique to IMPACTER Premium are analysis tools and an employee Inclusion survey, which ensures that business leaders are informed of any mis-match in their DEI processes and strategies.
IMPACTER helps to support business performance by measuring and validating the effectiveness of an organisation’s approach to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
Studies show that when employees feel valued for their differences, they are likely to be more satisfied, innovative, productive and let’s be honest, more likely to stick around – all factors that support business performance.
IMPACTER also provides insights and recommendations from experts to support organisations in taking action. This information is provided in real-time.
Organisations can use IMPACTER to measure their current programs but to test-drive other ideas that have the potential to improve their business performance.
These are some of the IMPACTER assessment areas that may overlap with business compliance needs.
- Gender pay gap monitoring
- Gender pay gap transparency
- Gender diversity in leadership
- Diversity workforce composition
- Supports for employees on domestic violence
- Supports for employees on mental health
- Flexible work arrangements
- Parental leave arrangements
- Superannuation equity
Of the 170 questions included in IMPACTER Premium, a small number directly overlap with the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA).
This means that if you are a WGEA participating organisation, you’ll be able to capture this information ongoing, access it in real-time and be able to better understand what you can do to improve your performance before it comes time to report on these activities.
IMPACTER also includes an employee Inclusion survey, which aligns with WGEA recommendations that all employees are invited to participate and a 60% response rate is needed for scoring to be triggered on your dashboard.
Coming soon is also a feature that allows you to upload your WGEA templates to save time on manually entering certain data into IMPACTER. Watch this space!
