Diversity Survey for Companies

For your planned diversity survey, we offer various methods, survey sizes, and thematic focuses:

• Methods: We work with numerous empirical survey methods, ranging from standardized quantitative surveys to qualitative interviews and focus group discussions, as well as combined methods. Learn more about our methods here.
• Topics: Our diversity surveys cover various topics: the existing diversity within the workforce, potential experiences of discrimination among employees, or whether planned measures are accepted. This can include questions assessing satisfaction regarding various aspects such as work-life balance, development opportunities, diversity sensitivity, and equal opportunity. Different groups within the workforce can also be analyzed separately.
• Scalable survey size: We create both small, compact survey modules (pulse checks) and comprehensive surveys using multi-part methods, surveying the entire workforce or specific target groups such as women, parents, people with disabilities, or those with experiences of racism.

Our diversity surveys can be conducted at the beginning of a process as a baseline assessment or throughout the process itself. We also offer evaluations of measures and programs, which you can learn more about here.

EAF Berlin combines extensive knowledge in the field of diversity with expertise in research!

‍

Our research team consists of experienced researchers with specialized methodological training and many years of experience in empirical research. We regularly conduct surveys on diversity, equity, and inclusion, experiences of discrimination, and support for measure development for various clients, including political parties, companies, and media organizations. We focus not only on WHAT we ask, but also HOW we ask it, in order to collect valid and meaningful data. We also know how to sensitively address delicate topics or questions regarding diversity characteristics. As an external service provider, we ensure the highest possible level of anonymity in our surveys, which is not possible to the same extent in an internally conducted survey. This not only increases trust but also motivates more people to participate, often resulting in high response rates. We carry out all projects in compliance with GDPR and in close coordination with our partners' data protection officers. EAF Berlin also has many years of research expertise in the field of women's engagement in politics: You can find our publications.
