Why employee diversity and inclusion surveys matter

If you’re not running regular employee surveys about diversity and inclusion, you’re missing critical opportunities for real progress—the kind that directly affects your team, your culture, and your bottom line. Let’s face it: diverse and inclusive workplaces consistently outperform their peers. In fact, companies with diverse management teams see 19% higher revenues from innovation alone. [1]

Surveys are more than a nice-to-have; they’re vital for fostering a genuinely inclusive culture and gathering actionable employee feedback. Here’s why these surveys pay off:

• Guided change: Regular feedback helps you track inclusion initiatives and make data-driven improvements.

• Engaged employees: A Microsoft case study showed a 60% increase in employee engagement scores after using regular inclusion surveys, boosting both culture and retention. [1]

• Stay competitive: 63% of workers believe that encouraging regular feedback is the best way to promote diversity and inclusivity. [2]

• Proven business outcomes: Organizations with inclusive cultures are 8x more likely to achieve better business results and twice as likely to exceed financial targets. [2]

If you skip these surveys, you’re losing out on valuable insights, higher retention, and untapped opportunities for innovation and growth.

AI survey generator vs. manual survey creation

Building a meaningful diversity and inclusion survey can be a grind. Traditional survey forms are often flat and uninspiring, and drafting each question by hand is time-consuming—not to mention prone to human bias or oversight. That’s where the magic of an AI survey generator steps in.

Why use AI for Employee surveys?

• Speed: Launch high-quality conversational surveys in seconds, not hours.

• Expertise: Specific leverages best-in-class AI to construct smart questions and seamless follow-ups—no research degree required.

• Conversational experience: Respondents interact like they would in a chat, which feels natural and engages them to share richer feedback.

With Specific, both survey creators and employees have a smooth, engaging experience every step of the way.

Designing questions that uncover real insights

We know the difference between a survey that gets one-word answers and one that sparks meaningful conversation. Good questions dig deeper—they’re clear, targeted, and invite honest reflection.

• “Bad” question: Do you think diversity is important in the company?

• “Good” question: Can you share an example where you felt included or excluded in your team? What made that experience stand out for you?

So how does Specific help? Our AI survey builder draws from expert templates and best practices to steer clear of vague or biased wording. It won’t let you get away with “meh” questions—instead, it suggests phrasing that sparks thoughtful, actionable responses. Plus, you can always edit and iterate by simply chatting with our AI survey editor.

Your quick guideline: ask open-ended questions and prompt for real-life examples, not yes/no responses. For more curated inspiration, check our guide on best questions for employee surveys about diversity and inclusion.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Specific’s AI doesn’t just ask and move on—it listens, then prompts natural follow-up questions in real time, just like a seasoned interviewer. This conversational approach means richer context and fewer missed insights. Instead of sending emails back and forth for clarification days later, you get the full story up-front.

Here’s what can happen if you skip follow-ups:

• Employee: “I don’t always feel included at meetings.”

• No follow-up: Vague response—no idea if this is due to scheduling, tone, or something else.

• AI follow-up: “Could you tell me a bit more about what makes you feel left out during meetings? Is it related to how decisions are made, who gets to speak, or something else?”

Notice the difference? With AI-powered follow-ups, every response becomes an invitation for deeper insight. Try generating a survey and see these conversations in action—you’ll spot the difference immediately.

Follow-ups make a survey a genuine conversation. The result: a true conversational survey experience.

Delivering employee diversity and inclusion surveys

Getting your survey in front of the right people—at the right moment—matters. With Specific, you’ve got two powerful ways to deliver your diversity and inclusion survey:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Perfect for organization-wide employee polls or when you want a quick, link-based rollout (via email, Slack, or your intranet). Great for collecting input from large and distributed teams, ensuring every employee’s voice is heard.

• In-product surveys: Best for embedding the conversation directly within your employee portal, HR platform, or company app—catching your team in their workflow without disrupting their day. This is especially powerful when you want timely feedback tied to specific employee actions or company events.

For most diversity and inclusion topics, a sharable landing page works well for broad engagement, while in-product delivery suits targeted follow-ups or ongoing pulse surveys.
