Workplace Gender Discrimination Climate Survey

Thanks for taking a few minutes on this. We're asking about experiences with gender discrimination at work so we can identify real gaps and fix them. Everything you share is confidential, and you can skip any question. About 6-7 minutes.

In the last 12 months, have you personally experienced or witnessed gender-based discrimination at work?

• Yes, I experienced it personally
• Yes, I witnessed it happen to someone else
• Both experienced and witnessed it
• No, neither
• Prefer not to say

In the last 12 months, how often have you experienced each of the following at work?

How safe do you feel raising a concern about gender discrimination at work without fear of retaliation?

Have you ever reported a gender discrimination incident at work, formally or informally?

• Yes, and I was satisfied with the outcome
• Yes, but I was not satisfied with the outcome
• No, I considered it but decided not to
• No, I haven't had an incident to report
• Prefer not to say

Reconstruct the most significant gender discrimination incident the respondent experienced or witnessed in the last 12 months: what happened, who was involved, whether it was reported, and how it was handled. If they never reported it, probe what specifically held them back. If they rated psychological safety low, anchor on what would need to change for them to feel safe speaking up. If they said 'No, neither' to the first question, ask what makes their team or manager an exception worth learning from.
