Meet Our Founders
Dr. Laura Brooks Dueland and Dr. Emily Adams co-founded Inclusion Analytics. Both Laura and Emily earned doctorates in Industrial Organizational Psychology from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. It was there that Laura and Emily discovered they had complementary skill sets and learned just how well they worked together. Their academic collaboration launched the theoretical and technical frameworks that became the foundation of their business.
Before founding Inclusion Analytics, Laura worked as a consultant on topics ranging from healthcare compensation to personality assessments for selection and developmental coaching. Today, Laura uses the compensation and client-facing experiences she gained in previous consulting roles to lead pay equity studies, design assessments, and head up client relations at Inclusion Analytics.
In her prior roles, Emily leveraged data analytics to drive change in post-secondary education administration, juvenile justice system reform, and behavioral health workforce development. Her data analytics expertise makes her a natural fit for leading data visualization, back-end analytics, and operations at Inclusion Analytics.
Together, Emily and Laura have developed assessments targeting organizational policies and employee perceptions. These tools have been used by more than 100 companies across industries and sectors, from small non-profits to international technology companies.
Beyond the Bios
Bios can be boring. Here’s some qualitative data about us that’s a little more fun.

Ballerina or professional soccer player

You don’t have to have all the answers. Just make the next best decision for yourself.

It would involve quiet, calm, peaceful activities. Fewer timelines and festivities, more naps.

Managing multiple dietary requirements in the kitchen. If I’m bringing a dish to the potluck, everyone will be able to eat it – no EpiPens needed.

Rosa Parks. She worked incredibly hard behind the scenes for the Civil Rights movement. When she was asked to step forward into the spotlight, she did so willingly and withstood the intense backlash that it created with peaceful, strong conviction.

New Zealand! (Seeing mountains and the ocean within walking distance from each other is pretty impressive to this Omaha, Nebraska, native).
-
Raising kids! You can’t prepare yourself for the intensity of emotions it evokes. It’s simultaneously the coolest, most important thing I’ve ever done and the absolute hardest.

A relationship should expand your world. Whether it’s a romantic relationship, friendship, or work relationship, it should feel like your world is getting bigger, not smaller.

If? Let’s talk about when I invented a holiday! It’s called the Bensonminster amateur dog show. It is full of friends, dogs, silly tricks, and kids as judges. Seymour Pennywhistle Funkenstein Dueland is the current Best in Show.

Our clients, especially those who are ready to dig into the data to make positive changes for their employees. These clients want their workplaces to be great for everyone. They are ready to invest in it, are in it day in and day out, and are up for digging into some tough stuff. They really inspire me!

A small champagne house run by the grandfather of my high school foreign exchange student. He reminded me so much of the farmers I know and love in Nebraska as he explained how his machinery worked and the long hours he put into making each bottle incredible. It reminded me of all the ways we live life similarly and differently around the world.

I’ve been told by many that I am Linda from Bob's Burgers. I’m always so excited for the people I love, and I will always show up for them.

Our family’s personal motto is: We're the Duelands, not the Don't-lands
