Data is critical for evidence-based decision-making. It is no different when developing a workplace equity, diversity and inclusion program. A Workforce Census is a critical first step in designing, implementing and evaluating the efficacy and impact of diversity initiatives.
But collecting and analyzing this personal information creates a challenge for many organizations.
We offer is a fast, easy and secure way to collect and analyze this data.
The Census can be used for employment equity purposes to identify gaps in representation of the groups that experience systemic and persistent discrimination in employment, namely women, racialized people, Indigenous people, persons with disabilities and 2SLGBTQ+. It can also be used to gather broader demographic information about your workforce and capacity to serve an increasingly diverse client population.
Our goal is a 100% survey rate and an 80% response rate, which the Canadian Human Rights Commission has identified as critical to having valid data.

We understand the implications of these decisions, and will help you understand how they will impact the survey rate, response rate and the analysis that can be conducted.

Online Census ToolOur online survey tool offers an easy and secure way to conduct the census. The tool allows employees to complete the survey at work or from home and is compatible with mobile devises. The online survey is also accessible to employees with visual impairments who use computer readers.
Where needed, we also provide a paper-based survey that can be used by employees who don't have access to a computer at work or who choose to use this paper-based option. |

Communication ToolsWe have a number of communications tools which can be customized for your needs, including emails, posters, newsletter content and manager speaking notes.
We can also provide an external website (or content for your intranet) that can be the one-stop for employees to access information on the purpose of the census, confidentiality and FAQs. |
