Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Survey

To better understand how individuals experience their working environment, to highlight existing good Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) practice and to identify areas where enhancements can be made, an EDI survey was carried out in May 2021. As per UCD’s Gender Equality Action plan (GEAP) 2020 – 2024, UCD has committed to survey our employees every two years. This will enable the University to monitor the impact of its activities and measure progress in the area of EDI through quantitative and qualitative analysis. Reference is made throughout this report to relevant actions in the GEAP and EDI strategy 2020 – 2024 to identify where gaps are currently being addressed or where additional actions have been included as part of the review of the EDI strategy.

You can access the EDI Survey Report 2021, as well as additional Open Text analysis from the report on our EDI Survey Page.
