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.
