FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What information do I need to prepare before using the tool?
You need basic workforce data (number of employees by sex, level, hires, promotions, exits), and diversity information (e.g., disability, age, SOGIESC, if available).
Q2. Is individual employee data required?
No. Only aggregated company data is needed.
Q3. What if my company does not have all the data?
You can leave blanks or mark “not available.” The tool will still generate results, but with lower completeness.
Q4. Will the tool compare my company with others?
No. The tool is for self-assessment. Benchmarking may be shared later if companies agree to contribute to aggregated data.
Q5. Who can see the results?
Only the authorized company representative(s) will have access to the detailed results. ECOP may use aggregated results for reporting, but without identifying individual companies.
Q6. What should I do after completing the tool?
Use the results to identify gaps, set DEI targets, and plan actions in HR, policies, and workplace culture.
Q7. Can ECOP provide support after the assessment?
Yes. ECOP can provide training, peer learning sessions, and technical assistance for companies ready to improve their DEI practices.
