CONNECTION TO ETHNIC DIVERSITY INDICATOR

A primary intent of the Inclusion Indicator is that all members of a diverse workforce feel welcome and included. Accordingly, the achievement levels in the Inclusion Indicator correspond to the level of diversity within the organization, as represented by the thresholds in the Ethnic Diversity Indicator. In order to score Level 2, 3, or 4 on the Inclusion Indicator, you must score at least Level 2, 3, or 4 (respectively) on the Ethnic Diversity Indicator.

INCLUSION SURVEY

Survey Questions

The level achievement score for Inclusion is based on responses to the two statements below. Organizations can conduct a survey that contains additional questions or statements, but the two statements below must be included.

  • My organization is committed to a comprehensive strategy of ensuring that all employees feel included.
  • I feel included.

The calculation for generating a score from the responses is provided both in the Calculations section for this Indicator and in a sample survey that includes the required questions in its Work Environment category, which is available in the Just 2.0 Application Toolkit here and through the ILFI member dashboard.

Survey Participation

The entire workforce should be given an opportunity to respond to the Inclusion Survey. In order to be valid for submission, results must reflect a minimum response rate of 60%.

Organizations may include senior leadership in the survey at their discretion, however the intent of the survey is to gauge the experience of employees who do not have the power and influence that senior leadership typically holds.

ORGANIZATIONS WITH FEWER THAN 5 EMPLOYEES

Because calculations based on the number of employees can be skewed when derived from a small number, organizations with fewer than 5 employees are limited to earning Level 1 recognition for this Indicator.

SCOPE OF EMPLOYEES
