Thank You for Your Data

A parody of the amazing ABBA song

“Thank you for the Music”

Thank You For Your Data

Verse 1

Thank you for your dataThe time you’re takingHelp inform the change we’re makingWe just need your dataTo advance equalitySo simple you seeHelps us to plan to meet every needSo I say, thank you for the dataFor more equality

Verse 2

If we don’t get your data

There is no question

How will we monitor staff progression?

Who are we retaining?

And who’s not able to grow?

But how would we know?

Without the data it just wouldn’t show

So I say thank you for the data,

For more equality.

Verse 3There’s so many people

From diverse places

In the world, with unique faces

Social mobility,

It’s truly super to see,

Community!

It’s superdiversity, this picture of you and me,

So thank you for the data

For more equality

… So thank you for the data

For more equality
