Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

Inclusive Employer Index

Now open

We want to hear from UNSW staff 

UNSW is participating in Diversity Council Australia’s (DCA) Inclusive Employer Index in 2024 to better understand diversity and inclusion at UNSW.

The Inclusive Employer Index survey is an anonymous employee survey run by DCA, using Cultural Infusion’s Diversity Atlas platform and will be used by UNSW to measure and track progress in creating a diverse and inclusive organisation.

Why are we participating? 

  1. The survey will build on data collected in surveys run previously by EDI in 2017 (Athena SWAN Gender Equity Survey) and in 2019 (Respect Survey), alongside the DCA results from 2023.
  2. The 2023 survey informed UNSW's first Gender Equity Strategy, and 2024 results will support the progression of further inclusion initiatives across the university.

What will happen with the results?

  1. Results from the survey will be used to progress inclusion initiatives across the University, including training and mentoring programs, as well as funding and grant schemes.
  2. High-level results of the survey will be shared with staff in the months after the survey. 
  3. Data will be reported back to UNSW at an institutional level only, and will not be collected or identifiable at a faculty or divisional level. There is a minimum reporting threshold, meaning that results will only be reported if more than 10 people respond.

Confidentiality 

Staff responses to this survey are voluntary and entirely confidential, and there’s no way for your individual responses to be tracked.   

No other participating organisations will receive any information about how UNSW performed and any comparison data that is provided will be fully aggregated and deidentified. Cultural Infusion and DCA will not have access to UNSW staff contact details at any point in this process.

If at any point the survey raises anything for staff where additional support or action is required, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the following reporting mechanisms and resources:
