Stonewall workplace equality index
Stonewall’s workplace equality index is a benchmarking tool for employers to measure their progress on lesbian, gay, bi and trans inclusion in the workplace.
Workplace Equality Index (WEI)
From 2015 Keele has taken part in the Workplace Equality Index (WEI). The WEI is a benchmarking tool used by employers to assess their achievements and progress on lesbian, gay, bi and trans (LGBT) equality in the workplace. Questions are split across different sections – employee policy, the employee lifecycle, staff network groups, allies and role models, senior leadership, monitoring, procurement, and customers, service users and clients.
Each year all staff, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, are asked to participate in a survey - please support our application by completing the survey which normally launches each summer.
