Workplace Gender Inclusivity Experience Survey
Measures how included, fairly treated, and supported people of all genders feel at work — covering belonging, perceived fairness in promotions and pay, comfort reporting concerns, and which initiatives would help most — with an AI follow-up that surfaces the specific incidents and barriers behind the scores instead of vague sentiment. Built for HR, DEI, and people teams running culture pulse checks.
Sample questions
A preview of what’s in the template. Every question is editable before you launch.
How confident are you that people of all genders have equal opportunities to succeed at this company?
How much do you agree with each statement about your day-to-day experience?
- I am treated fairly in meetings and discussions here
- I have equal access to high-visibility projects and stretch assignments
- I believe promotion decisions are made fairly regardless of gender
- I believe pay decisions are made fairly regardless of gender
- I feel comfortable being my authentic self at work
In the last 12 months, have you personally experienced or witnessed gender-based exclusion, bias, or unequal treatment at work?
- Yes, I experienced it personally
- Yes, I witnessed it happen to someone else
- No
- Not sure
How comfortable would you be raising a gender-related concern with HR or a manager here?
Which of these would do the most, and the least, to improve gender inclusivity for you personally?
- Flexible or extended parental leave
- Transparent, published pay bands
- Formal sponsorship for promotion opportunities
- Bias-interruption training for managers
- Structured mentorship programs
- Active employee resource groups
- Flexible or remote work arrangements
- Structured return-to-work support after leave
How visible is senior leadership's commitment to gender inclusivity in actual day-to-day decisions, not just stated values?
Probe the reasoning behind the respondent's confidence score and any exclusion they reported experiencing or witnessing: ask for a specific recent example, what happened, and how it was or wasn't addressed. If they scored high confidence and reported no incidents, explore what specifically makes the environment feel equitable so it can be reinforced elsewhere. If they flagged discomfort reporting concerns, dig into what would make reporting feel safer or more consequence-free.

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Goes beyond scores with an AI follow-up interview that probes the reasoning behind confidence ratings and surfaces specific exclusion or incidents behind the numbers
- Pairs a matrix of day-to-day experience statements with a MaxDiff question so teams see both how people feel and which initiatives would actually help most
- Includes direct questions on comfort reporting concerns and visibility of leadership commitment, plus demographic breakdowns for spotting patterns across gender, department, and tenure
- Closes with an open-ended question inviting anything else respondents want leadership to know, giving qualitative context the automated report can synthesize alongside scored data
SurveyMonkey
Gender Inclusivity At Work Survey TemplateA fielding-ready template covering similar ground on gender inclusivity at work, from a well-established survey platform with broad distribution and analytics tools. It's a fixed question set rather than an adaptive interview, so all follow-up depends on additional static questions being pre-written.
What it does well
- Established, widely-used survey platform with mature distribution and reporting features
- Purpose-built template specifically for gender inclusivity, so no need to adapt an adjacent topic
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up, so respondents can't be probed in the moment on why they rated something a certain way
- No voice interview option or automated per-response quality scoring
- Doesn't publish the underlying question logic or prompts, so methodology transparency is limited
QuestionPro
Gender Discrimination Survey Questions + Sample Questionnaire TemplateA questionnaire template focused specifically on gender discrimination, which overlaps with but is narrower than broad inclusivity, belonging, and fairness measurement. It reads as a sample question bank for adapting into a survey rather than a ready-to-send interactive interview experience.
What it does well
- Focused set of questions specifically targeting discrimination experiences
- Backed by a full survey platform with standard reporting and distribution tools
Where it falls short
- Static question list with no adaptive AI follow-up to dig into the specifics behind a discrimination report
- No guided task or screen-share capability, and no voice AI interview option
- Narrower scope (discrimination) than a full inclusivity, fairness, and support experience survey
