Diversity and Inclusion survey program in Viva Glint
Fostering a strong sense of belonging in your organization is essential. Customer data shows that employees who feel a strong sense of belonging are over six times as likely to be engaged as those employees who don’t.
Belonging is strong when:
- work environments are inclusive of differences.
- everyone feels accepted.
- everyone can bring their best selves to work.
The Microsoft Viva Glint Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) approach helps organizations measure perspectives that matter and empower managers to build inclusive practices. The D&I approach fosters an understanding of how to create an environment where all people feel they belong.
Note
The Glint survey strategy can incorporate domains of diversity, belonging and inclusion into any survey, voiding the need for a standalone Diversity and Inclusion measurement. For this reason, consider adding items from Glint's D&I survey template to an engagement or a culture survey.
