It depends on what you want to achieve, but for companies, the goal is probably diversity of belief, opinion, culture, and experience. That way you can have a good spread of ideas and increase your odds of being able to understand your customers (who are probably also diverse).
So you could run anonymized surveys of your staff asking things like "have you ever changed a baby's diaper", "do you play any instruments", "do you speak the same language at home as your grandparents do", "if you could only have one carbohydrate would you choose rice, pasta, bread, or potatoes", etc, and then measure the entropy of the responses.
