We need better data to make gains in workplace diversity, equity and inclusionDespite the explosion of DEI efforts across all sectors, there is a real lack of access to reliable and intersectional measures to understand employee experiences |
Researchers are not asking questions with intersectionality in mind (or are working in silos, i.e., university environments) and current surveys/products rely heavily on buzzwords like unconscious bias, sense of belonging, and employee engagement.
If we are going to make substantial gains in workplace diversity, equity and inclusion, then we need better information.
To that end, Moving Beyond is collaborating with Nicole DeKay - a recovering corporate employee, current doctoral candidate - in releasing a series of workplace surveys to build a better, more intersectional research base. One that looks across multiple dimensions of an individual identity - race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, geography, disability and more.
None of us live single identity lives, and it’s time for research to catch up.
What's in it for you?
Each participating company or team will get a profile FREE of charge at the end of the study period. All individual participants will get the first copy of our report as well. If you (as an individual) or your team or your company is interested in participating sign-up below.

Individual Thriving at Work IndexWe understand the basic practices that help people realize their best selves outside of work. Based on those concepts, specifically Psychological Well Being developed by Carol Ryff, the ITW scale applies those theories to understand how workplaces promote human thriving and what individuals can do at work for increased well-being.

Culture for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion IndexThis survey will include a basic DE&I toolkit for encouraging an evidence based strategy, allowing you to advocate for a data-informed approach to DE&I. No matter what you call this body of work (DEI, JEDI, IDEA, EDI etc) this survey will give you data on how your organization is performing on key drivers of inclusion. We will cover why it’s not enough to do DEI training and/or group learning, and what to do instead.

Data-Informed Employee EngagementEmployee engagement is an important driver for organizational success. This toolkit will feature a collaboration with Dr. Brad Shuck from the University of Louisville. Dr. Shuck is recognized as one of the world’s most knowledgeable experts on employee engagement. Dr. Shuck looks at engagement with power and privilege in mind arguing that organizations have an obligation to confront manifestations of power and inequity.

Adverse Workplace Experience and Workplace Psychological Distress ScaleWhile we know and can find a decent amount of research on jobs that are exposed to highly stressful events, there is less information about how the chronic repeated stressors, like those associated with COVID-19, discrimination, harassment, bullying, etc., impact people. While trauma is being called one of the largest national health crises we are not addressing, limited research is available to help us understand how workplace culture may produce stressful environments that can cause distress. Understanding which events are common, and preventable, can help us tackle this health crisis from within organizations proactively rather than reactively.
