Stonewall Workplace Equality Index Survey 2023 Now Open - click here to complete the survey!
The University became a member of the Stonewall Global Diversity Champions programme in 2019. We are committed to supporting our Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, non-binary and Queer (LGBTQ+) University community and providing an inclusive and welcoming staff and student experience.
The University participates in the Workplace Equality Index which is an important benchmarking tool that enables us to assess our progress on LGBTQ+ equality, demonstrate evidence of our achievements and highlight areas where there is still room for development.
In 2023, the University ranked within Stonewall’s Top 100 LGBTQ+ inclusive employers, coming 97th up from a ranking of 277 the previous year.
What is the survey and how does it work?
- This anonymous survey is part of a wider piece of work looking to understand the culture of the University of Huddersfield and how we advance LGBTQ+ Equality.
- As part of our Workplace Equality Index submission, staff are invited to fill in a survey seeking views about how we support the LGBTQ+ community.
- Regardless of your sexuality, by taking part you are helping us to understand to hear your views and experiences on LGBTQ+ equality.
- The survey questions are around key indicators of inclusion in the workplace – examining both LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ employee views and experiences, opinions, and attitudes.
Your views will help us to identify areas for development and inform and inform the impact of our policies and practices, establishing the University’s future priorities and initiatives to develop more inclusive services and provision.
This survey takes about five minutes to complete and is open to all staff. The information you provide is entirely anonymous - it will go directly to Stonewall’s Workplace Equality Index (WEI) team, and not here to the University. Once your feedback is collected and analysed, only aggregated scores are shared with us. If you have any queries, please contact the EDI Team.
