Diversity Pulse Survey

Applying for the WGEA Employer of Choice for Gender Equity citation?

We can help you with Employee Consultation

The Workplace Gender Equality Agency administers the WGEA Employer of Choice for Gender Equality (EOCGE) citation.

One element of the application process requires organisations to achieve a minimum level of employee agreement in relation to 5 gender equity survey questions, and to report their results.

Organisations may determine the most appropriate method for collecting this data, which may include administering a pulse survey or incorporating the questions into an existing survey.

There is still time to collect the information you require via an employee pulse survey. Analysis of the required questions can be provided within 3 days of the survey close.

We can help you with the following levels of service

WGEA guidelines require that all permanent employees are given an opportunity to complete an anonymous survey, and minimum response rates apply depending on organisation size.

* Please note: we are able to assist you by administering a pulse survey which includes the questions required by the WGEA. We cannot guarantee the achievement of a particular survey response rate, nor can we guarantee that the survey results obtained for your organisation will meet the minimum performance levels required by WGEA (i.e. minimum thresholds for the percentage of women and men who ‘agree’ or ‘strongly agree’ to each of the five questions).

Evaluation Solutions has no affiliation with the WGEA. We are offering to facilitate an online pulse survey to collect information that organisations may require, using the questions specified in the WGEA criteria guide.
