Diversity and inclusion are not just about who works there, but above all about who feels seen, heard and taken seriously. Deepler’s DAI module allows you to measure how employees actually experience the culture, collaboration, safety and equality within the organisation. This helps you identify where inclusion is already working well, where barriers arise, and what steps are needed to build a working environment in which everyone can contribute.
Data-driven DAI means that you measure diversity and inclusion not only on the basis of demographic figures, but above all on the basis of employees’ experiences. It is about whether people feel safe to be themselves, whether they have equal access to development and decision-making, and whether differences are valued or, conversely, perceived as a barrier.
A diversity and inclusion survey allows you to assess where the organisation stands on issues such as equality, psychological safety, career opportunities, bias and a culture of open dialogue. You are not just measuring whether policies exist, but whether employees feel that they matter in their day-to-day work.
This makes DEI tangible, open to discussion and capable of improvement – not based on assumptions, but on what employees themselves experience.
The module assesses how inclusion is experienced across themes such as equality, safety, growth and respect. You can see, for each department, team or job category, where barriers lie and where people do feel valued.
Based on the findings, you select specific actions: from leadership development to changes to recruitment processes, from team discussions to structural changes to decision-making. These are always based on employees’ experiences.
By carrying out regular measurements, you can see whether interventions are having an effect. Inclusion is not a campaign, but an ongoing process. Data helps you to make adjustments and to account for what is working and where extra attention is needed.
Diversity is about the differences between people: background, age, gender, education, neurodiversity, culture, disability or beliefs. Inclusion is about whether those differences are welcomed in day-to-day work. Are people taken seriously? Are they given the same opportunities? Can they share their perspectives without having to conform? A DAI survey measures not only who works there, but above all how employees experience the working environment.
Organisations function more effectively when people with different perspectives are able to contribute. But this does not happen automatically. Without inclusion, diverse employees remain invisible, opportunities are distributed unevenly, and valuable insights go untapped. This affects innovation, decision-making, engagement, staff turnover and the organisation’s reputation as an employer. Measuring DAI helps to move from intention to impact.
Improving DAI starts with awareness and data. Measure how employees experience the working environment and involve them in deciding on the actions to be taken. Consider awareness-raising training, adjustments to HR processes, leadership that values diversity, team discussions on collaboration and safety, and a systematic focus on equal opportunities. Small, consistent steps are more effective than one-off interventions.
Yes, inclusion can be effectively measured using targeted questionnaires and analysis. With Deepler’s DAI module, you can measure not only demographic diversity, but above all the experiences of employees: do they feel heard, are they given equal opportunities, do they encounter prejudice, and is there room for diversity? This gives you a clear picture for each team or department, enabling you to take targeted action to drive improvement.
Ensure that career progression, development and visibility are accessible to everyone, not just those who conform most closely to the norm.
Actively value diverse perspectives in decision-making, collaboration and innovation. Diversity is not an obstacle, but a source of value.
Encourage open discussion about bias and train managers and teams to recognise patterns that contribute to exclusion or inequality.
Make sure people feel safe to be themselves, to report inappropriate behaviour and to grow without feeling pressured to conform.
This module sets out how employees perceive the organisation in terms of DAI, across three main themes. Click on a theme to view the sub-themes. Some sub-themes go one level deeper.
The Diversity, Equality and Inclusion module measures how employees perceive the organisation in terms of DAI. It assesses, across three themes, how diverse the organisation is, the extent to which people are given equal opportunities, and how inclusive the culture is. Equality is at the heart of this: everyone counts and belongs.
In this video, discover how organisations are making diversity and inclusion measurable and open to discussion using Deepler’s DAI module. From measurement to concrete team discussions and action plans, see how it works in practice.
Diversity and inclusion rarely stand alone. Issues such as psychological safety, leadership, engagement and workload constantly influence one another. Combine this module with other Deepler modules to gain a more complete picture of what is really going on in the workplace, and to focus your efforts more effectively on the areas that will have the greatest impact.

“Recently, I used Deepler to arrive at an EVP. Great what they were able to achieve in a short time! In a period of two weeks, we collected information and were able to continue with our AMC plan. In any other situation, it takes weeks, if not months, to get this done. Contact is good, friendly and constructive. Very nice club to work with.”

“Ideal tool and company to gain more and better insight into the organization and employees as an organization! And especially with speed! For us, it was also the need to get tools for the topics of retention, to prevent future absenteeism or turnover. I also have experience with other parties and I sincerely value the speed of switching, follow-up and personal contact with Deepler. Absolutely recommended.”

“Deepler is a great tool for continuously collecting feedback from our employees. This input is then centrally available for us as management, but also for managers who benefit from it.”

“What makes Deepler special is that it doesn’t get stuck in numbers. It helps you immediately understand where it is and what teams need. For us, this ensured that employees themselves came up with areas for improvement and took responsibility for them. The insights were sharp and useful, but most importantly: the conversation that started afterwards made the difference. Thanks to Deepler, we didn’t get a paper plan, but change that was supported by the people themselves.”

The platform helps us to gain real-time insight and to respond directly to it via the tool.”

Diversity is about the differences between people: who works there. Inclusion is about whether those differences are welcomed in day-to-day work: how people are treated, whether they are given equal opportunities, and whether they feel safe to be themselves. A diverse organisation is not automatically an inclusive one.
By asking employees how they experience their working environment in relation to issues such as equality, psychological safety, career opportunities, respect, decision-making and discrimination. Anonymous questionnaires, combined with data analysis, provide insight into patterns within each team, department or job category.
Measure at fixed intervals, for example after 30, 60, and 90 days. This gives you insight into how the experience develops and where you can make timely adjustments. A single measurement at the end of the trial period often comes too late.
Yes. Anonymity is essential, particularly when dealing with sensitive issues such as discrimination and exclusion. Deepler reports at group level and uses thresholds, so that individual responses cannot be traced back to specific people. This increases the likelihood of honest responses.
These include, amongst other things, equal opportunities, career progression, psychological safety, valuing diversity, respect, influence over decision-making, perceived discrimination, exclusion, prejudice, a culture of open communication, and confidence that reports will be addressed.
By using the findings as a starting point for a constructive discussion. Allow room for people to recognise their own behaviour, ask for specific examples, refer to behaviour rather than individuals, and provide clear feedback on which actions are being taken and why.
Start by identifying patterns and discussing the results at the appropriate level. Then select specific actions, such as leadership development, team meetings, adjustments to HR processes or awareness-raising training sessions. Measure again later to track progress.
That depends on the situation. Start with a comprehensive baseline assessment and repeat it annually or biennially. In the event of major changes, such as a reorganisation or following an incident, an additional snapshot assessment helps to gain a quick understanding of the impact.
