    #35 Welcome back to Diversity Secrets Podcast!

    This is episode 2 of a 2-part series where we explore the ins and outs of deploying a diversity and inclusion survey in organizations in Europe.

    To help us unpack this complex topic, we have the pleasure of welcoming Eileen Barnard, Principal Organisational Culture Manager - DE&I at Babbel, one of the leading language learning platforms globally. Eileen designed and rolled out her company’s first DEI survey this year, and agreed to take us through the step by step process, sharing her tips for success. If you’re thinking of rolling out a DEI survey in your organization these 2 episodes are for you!

    In our last episode, Eileen shared about how to design a GDPR-compliant DEI survey, which stakeholders to get on board and what type of prework you need to do in order to make sure that the survey is in line with your culture and makes sense to your people, so that they feel comfortable filling it out.

    In this episode we’re going to discuss employee participation rate, how to analyse survey results, as well as the challenges of sharing them in the organization. We also explore how to use these results to transform policies and drive real change in the organization. Eileen's advice is pragmatic, actionable and relatable!

    Eileen is happy to answer questions and share the set of questions she used in the DE&I survey at Babbel. To reach out to her, please fill out this Form.

    #34 Welcome back to Diversity Secrets Podcast!
    Today, let’s dive into the complex and often taboo topic of measuring diversity in organizations in Europe.

    There’s a running myth in most European countries that collecting sensitive data on ethnic backgrounds, religious beliefs, sexual orientation and other diversity characteristics is simply illegal and therefore impossible. But that’s not true. Yes, Europe’s stringent regulations around data privacy, most notably the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) makes collecting sensitive data a challenge. However, data privacy regulation should not be an excuse standing in the way of progress for DEI, no matter how delicate a task.

    Luckily, to guide us through the tricky process, we have with us Eileen Barnard, Principal Organisational Culture Manager - DE&I at Babbel (language e-learning platform). She’s done all the hard work of designing a GDPR-compliant DE&I survey, so you don’t have to! Make sure to grab a pen and paper to note down her precious step-by-step advice. In this 1st episode of a 2-part series, Eileen shares all the pre-work that goes into designing a DE&I survey in Europe: legal compliance, stakeholders to partner with in your organization, survey questions that make sense to your people.

    Tune in next month for part 2: Eileen will share her insights on rolling out the survey, and analyzing the findings.
