DEI Climate Survey
The DEI Climate Survey provides a comprehensive and confidential assessment of your organization's diversity, equity, and inclusion culture. Using validated Likert scales and thoughtfully designed questions, it measures employee perceptions of belonging, fairness in opportunities, respect for differences, and leadership commitment to DEI. The multi-page design separates sensitive topics while the anonymous nature encourages honest feedback essential for meaningful DEI progress.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I ensure employees feel safe responding honestly?
Emphasize anonymity repeatedly, use a third-party survey platform if possible, avoid collecting identifying information, and ensure minimum response thresholds before sharing department-level data (typically 5+ responses).
Should I include demographic questions?
Demographic questions help identify disparities between groups but can threaten anonymity in small organizations. Make them optional and only collect what you'll analyze. Never require responses that could identify individuals.
How often should I run a DEI survey?
Annual surveys work best for comprehensive assessments. More frequent pulse checks (quarterly) can track specific initiatives. Avoid survey fatigue by spacing DEI surveys from other organizational surveys.
What's a good participation rate?
Aim for 70%+ participation for statistically meaningful results. Low participation may itself indicate DEI issues - employees who don't feel included may not trust the process enough to respond.
How should I share results with employees?
Share aggregate findings transparently, acknowledge both strengths and areas for improvement, and present concrete action plans. Avoid defensive responses to negative feedback - employees need to see their input drives real change.
