The survey tool provides employers with confidential baseline data to better understand your organization’s current state from a demographic and cultural perspective.
In addition to the confidential baseline data provided to employers, the survey also offers confidential aggregate data from all survey respondents that can help us measure and report regional progress over time. The survey measures two key areas.
Demographics: This includes the gender and racial diversity of your workforce, leadership, and board.
Cultural: The implementation of best practices that contribute to building an inclusive culture.
Employers have found the tool helpful for strategic planning and incorporating D&I into various functions of their business. The survey is administered by DataWise and based on Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Benchmarks: Standards for Organizations Around the World (PDF) . On average, the electronic survey takes one (1) hour to complete if you have the requested data readily available. Please allow for additional time to collect demographic data, discuss your responses with various internal stakeholders and debrief your individual scores after.
