You see it only when you compare. How it works ## Measure, compare, then act ### Inclusion read from the surveys you already run. 1 · Measure ### Ask about inclusion in your regular surveys Add the optional equity, diversity and inclusion driver to your pulse surveys. It asks, for example, whether personal characteristics are a barrier to career progression, and whether the organization shows a commitment to an inclusive environment. [See example diversity and inclusion survey questions](https://sparkbay.com/en/culture-blog/diversity-inclusion-survey-questions-31) ![The equity, diversity and inclusion driver and its questions, one group compared with the whole organization](https://sparkbay.com/content/images/feature-compare-diversity.png) 2 · Compare ### See where groups differ Pick a dimension, such as gender, age or tenure, and the heatmap puts each group side by side on engagement, eNPS and every driver. A group below your anonymity minimum shows no score. ![Sparkbay heatmap by tenure: participation, eNPS, attrition risk and driver scores for each group](https://sparkbay.com/content/images/feature-heatmap-tenure.png) 3 · Act ### Let people propose what would help Ask your team one question. People suggest ideas without names attached, then vote on what to try first. ![A focus group's results: the team's ideas, each with the share of votes that preferred it](https://sparkbay.com/content/images/feature-focus-group-results.png) [Schedule a demo](https://sparkbay.com/en/request-demo) Groups and confidentiality ## Every group counted, no one exposed ### From your HR data Gender, birth date and hire date can come from your HR system or an employee file, for groups by gender, age and tenure. ### From employees themselves Your survey can ask people how they identify. Questions on minority, LGBTQ+ or disability status always offer “I prefer not to answer” and are never required. ### Never one person's answers A group shows a score only from 5 respondents. A smaller group's answers still count in the larger groups. We can easily work with different segments to better understand the realities of certain groups. ![Erwin Peray](https://sparkbay.com/content/images/logos/erwin-peray.jpg) Erwin Peray People Business Partner ![Ocean Winds](https://sparkbay.com/content/images/logos/ocean-winds-logo.png) [Read the case study](https://sparkbay.com/en/culture-blog/case-study-ocean-winds-1024) ## Frequently asked questions ### What is a diversity and inclusion survey? A survey that measures whether employees feel treated fairly and included, and compares the answers of different groups. In Sparkbay, it is the optional equity, diversity and inclusion driver, added to your regular pulse surveys and read by group. ### Which groups can we compare? Any dimension in your employee data, such as gender, age, tenure, department or site, and the answers people give about themselves in the survey. Each group appears with a score once it reaches your anonymity minimum, 5 respondents by default. ### Can employees describe themselves in the survey? Yes. Your survey can ask how people identify, such as their gender, minority status, LGBTQ+ identity or disability. Questions on minority, LGBTQ+ or disability status always offer “I prefer not to answer” and are never required, and no employee file or HR system sync fills them in. Our team sets these questions up with you. ### How does Sparkbay keep diversity survey answers confidential? Results are shown for groups only, never for one person, and a group's results appear only when it reaches your anonymity minimum, 5 respondents by default. A smaller group's answers still count in the larger groups it belongs to. ### What do we do once we see a gap? “Learn how to improve” suggests what to try for the questions to work on, and an action plan turns it into actions with due dates. A focus group lets people suggest ideas without names attached and vote on what to try first. ### Is Sparkbay compliant with employee data privacy laws? Yes.
