DEI Survey

The DEI Survey is a ready-to-launch set of 25 questions that measures how diversity, equity, and inclusion are experienced across your organization. It goes beyond awareness to test whether the organization genuinely values workforce diversity at all levels, whether hiring and promotion feel fair and free from bias, and whether pay and rewards are distributed equitably. It also checks whether employees know your DEI goals and whether progress is reported transparently. Run it when you want a baseline on equity and inclusion, before setting DEI targets, or on a regular cadence to see whether initiatives are changing the day-to-day experience of your people.

Good intentions on diversity and inclusion are hard to measure without asking directly. This survey gives you structured, comparable evidence about where practice matches policy. Responses reveal whether people believe hiring is free from bias, whether promotion and advancement decisions feel merit-based rather than identity-based, and whether pay and rewards are seen as equitable regardless of gender, ethnicity, or background. Those signals inform decisions about hiring processes, pay reviews, policy accessibility, and how you communicate goals. By surfacing where perceptions differ across groups, the survey helps you prioritize the changes most likely to build fairness and trust.

The roughly 25 questions span the core pillars of DEI. Diversity items ask whether the organization values workforce diversity across all levels and whether leadership reflects the diversity of the broader workforce. Fairness and equity covers whether the hiring process is fair and free from bias, whether promotion decisions are based on merit rather than identity, and whether pay and rewards are distributed equitably. Transparency and awareness includes whether employees are aware of DEI goals and whether progress is measured and reported openly. Access and inclusion looks at whether policies such as flexible working, leave, and accommodation are accessible and equitable for everyone. Together they map both structural fairness and lived inclusion.

Copy or download the full set of 25 questions and load them into your preferred survey tool, such as Google Forms, Typeform, or an internal HR platform. No signup is required. Keep responses anonymous, which matters especially for DEI topics where people need to feel safe answering honestly. If you collect optional demographic fields to analyze differences across groups, keep them voluntary and only use them where sample sizes protect anonymity. Set a clear closing date and explain how results will guide action.
