AWEI Employee Survey: Gain Insights to Shape Your Inclusion Strategy

The AWEI Employee Survey is a vital tool for organisations to assess workplace culture, measure inclusion efforts, and gain unique insights into the experiences of both LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ employees. This confidential survey captures attitudes, beliefs, and lived experiences, helping organisations understand how inclusive their workplace truly is.

By participating, organisations can identify strengths, uncover gaps, and inform future strategies, ensuring LGBTQ+ employees feel safe, valued, and supported. The survey also complements the AWEI Submission, providing data-driven insights to enhance policies, training, and engagement initiatives.

Use the AWEI Employee Survey to shape a more inclusive and supportive workplace.

What is the AWEI Employee Survey?

The AWEI Employee Survey offers your organisation the opportunity to:

• Gather essential insights into the experiences and perceptions of your employees regarding LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion.
• Compare your results with national data from other participating organisations.
• Use these insights to refine and strengthen your LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion strategies.

Who Can Participate?

The Australian Workplace Equality Index (AWEI) is open to all organisations.

Participation is included as part of Pride in Diversity membership benefits.

Non-member organisations are required to pay a participation fee to cover the costs associated with development, administration, assessment, data analysis, and reporting. 

Pride in Diversity also offers an ‘Index+ Participation‘ membership tier for organisations that only wish to participate in the AWEI Submission process, the AWEI Employee Survey, or both. This membership covers the costs associated with participation, and also includes access to selected member-only publications, factsheets, video resources, and an LGBTQ+ inclusion eLearning module. 

As the AWEI Employee Survey is designed to measure the impact of LGBTQ+ inclusion initiatives within participating organisations, non-member organisations wishing to participate in the survey must also complete a Foundation-level submission or hold a current Bronze Tier status.
