An Employee Diversity Survey is a questionnaire designed to gather information about an organisation's workforce demographics, employee experiences, and perspectives related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace. The purpose of the survey is to assess the level of diversity within the organisation, identify any barriers or challenges that may prevent the organisation from being more diverse and inclusive, and develop strategies to promote a more diverse and inclusive workplace.
The survey may include questions related to the employee's gender, age, ethnicity, disability status, and other demographic factors. It may also include questions related to the employee's experiences in the workplace, such as whether they have experienced discrimination or harassment, and questions related to their perspectives on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the organisation.
The results of the Employee Diversity Survey can be used to develop and implement strategies to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. For example, if the survey reveals that employees from certain demographic groups feel undervalued or face barriers to advancement, the organization can develop targeted initiatives to address these issues and promote a more inclusive workplace culture.
It is usually delivered to the Employee by the Employer / HR.
It should be actioned as and when required.
