Inclusive Employer
Index
From 2021, Diversity Council Australia have partnered with Cultural Infusion to enable participating organisations to explore their findings interactively on an online dashboard, including comparing these to a National Benchmark, DCA Member (Leading Practice) Benchmark and, where sample size allows, Industry Benchmark.
Would you like to Benchmark the State of Inclusion in your workplace?
The Inclusive Employer Index enables organisations to map and track the state of diversity and inclusion in their workforce benchmarked against leading D&I employers. The survey gathers data on your workers from a range of demographic backgrounds (e.g., Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander background, age, cultural background, disability status, gender, sexual orientation).
Access Analytics
By taking part in the Index, organisations can measure diversity and inclusion in their workforce and its impact and compare findings to national and DCA Member benchmarks. The survey provides information on:
Diversity
The diversity of your workforce.
Inclusion
Your employees’ experience of workplace inclusion.
Impact
The impact of workplace inclusion on team and employee outcomes.
WGEA
Workplace Gender Equality Agency’s Employer of Choice for Gender Equality Citation employee survey questions.
Benchmarks
Your diversity and inclusion results compared to a DCA-Member Leading Practice Benchmark, as well as access to a National Benchmark, derived from a nationally representative survey of 3000 Australian workers (National Index).
