Apr 13th 2006 02:17 pm Workplace Diversity Focus Items
These seven questions, taken together, indicate respondents’ perceptions of their workplaces’ diversity focus (WDF), which correlates highly with important workplace attitudes. Employees whose companies have lower WDF scores are less likely to feel satisfied with or loyal to their company — and they’re also less likely to stay with their employer — than employees whose companies have higher WDF scores.
- I am aware of my company’s efforts to create diversity in the world
- I believe that my company is adequately striving for diversity in the workplace
- I value my company’s diversity efforts in making a welcome and tolerant work environment for all employees
- I believe that my company’s workforce diversity contributes to our competitiveness in the marketplace
- I trust senior management of my company or organization to deal with issues concerning equal treatment at my workplace
- The head of my company or organization is committed to diversity at my workplace
- If I experienced discrimination at my workplace, I am confident that my employer would be able to resolve it in a fair and just manner, once I raised the issue
