HRDC's Leading Diversity and Inclusion nomination process includes two phases: an employer and an employee survey.

Employer form: Employers must complete the following form in order to be considered for the Leading Diversity and Inclusion awards.
  • Note: Only ONE submission is needed per organization
  • Deadline: April 1, 2022
The Leading Diversity and Inclusion - Employer form takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. If you wish to return to your form before submitting, please press 'Exit' at the top right corner to save your progress and revisit the URL when ready to complete.

Employee survey: In early April, nominated companies will be provided an employee survey that is to be shared internally within the organization for employees to complete. Nominated companies will be contacted directly with a link to the employee survey.

Organizations must meet the minimum amount of employee survey responses in order to qualify for the Leading Diversity and Inclusion award: 
  • Employee size 10 - 100: 10 minimum
  • Employee size 101 - 500: 20 minimum
  • Employee size 501+: 50 minimum
Organizations will be evaluated by employees on a number of metrics, including benefits, incentives, employee development, culture and more.

Companies that receive an 80% or greater satisfaction rating from their employees will be named a Leading Diversity and Inclusion Company.

Note: Employer/company information will be kept confidential and will not be shared with any third parties.
