What is a Diversity and Inclusion Survey?

Many organisations work hard to ensure that all their people are treated equally, irrespective of their age, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, religion, caring responsibilities and other characteristics.

They do this to create an inclusive culture and know that this drives organisational effectiveness.

Many organisations:

• Identify if there are particular groups who do not get the same experience as others
• Take specific initiatives to promote diversity and inclusion
• Set up relevant groups and review policies and procedures as appropriate
• Recognise that bias is frequently unconscious, and that moving forward takes sustained effort over a number of years.

A diversity and inclusion survey helps an organisation to track its progress on this journey and decide its next steps.

What are the benefits?

• Listen to the experiences of your people and whether this varies for different groups
• Identify groups who feel less included and if so why
• Understand how well your initiatives are landing
• Benchmark your results with other organisations
• Obtain compelling evidence to drive change
