Diversity in the workplace: How promotion of diversity influences employee satisfaction – a study across Europe

In this recorded webinar from December 2021 Hubertus Bitting, Chief Commercial Officer and Member of the Management Board and Silke Giesler, Senior Director Industry Analysis, shared interesting insights about “Diversity in the workplace”.

Within the last years the awareness on diversity increased strongly and affects all areas of life. Companies worldwide strive to foster diversity and inclusion practices, however, the initiatives are often in their early stages, and it is difficult to evaluate whether these initiatives show positive effects on employee satisfaction and whether diversity and equality in the workplace are really implemented in the organizations.
Statista has performed extensive surveying among more than 100,000 employees worldwide on diversity in numerous countries to measure the status of diversity and inclusion in companies and the effects on employee satisfaction.

Against this background this webinar offers:
• a quantitative analysis of how strongly the different aspects of diversity, e.g. ethnicity, gender, age, disability and sexual orientation, influence employee satisfaction as well as the perception of a company’s general attitude towards promoting diversity and equality
• a comparison of selected European countries, e.g. Germany, UK, France, Poland, how strong employees perceive equality regarding gender, ethnicity etc. being implemented in their companies
• a detailed analysis of employees' perceptions of companies' progress on all aspects of diversity, thus providing an inside view of company policies regarding diversity.

At the end of the webinar Silke Giesler answered questions about the size of the companies, which were surveyed in the study. In addition to that there was another question about the setting of the study, regarding the groups of employees which were asked and if there are also data for the US.
