What is the Fair360 survey
The Fair360 survey has been the leading assessment of workplace inclusivity in corporate America for over 20 years. Companies participate in the survey to establish a clear baseline for their inclusion initiatives. Every company that participates receives a free report card that gives them actionable insights to foster verified meritocracy and drive meaningful business outcomes.
What are the criteria to apply for the Fair360 survey?
- Have at least 750 U.S. employees
- Submit a notarized form signed by either the CEO, the Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO), or a corporate officer (other than the Chief Equity Officer or person responsible for workplace fairness) affirming that all data submitted is accurate. All data is U.S.-based.
Do you have to pay to participate?
No. Every company that completes the survey will receive a free report card assessing overall performance—versus all participants—across the five key areas measured. Companies that would like more in-depth benchmark comparisons should contact Top50@fair360.com.
When is the submission deadline?
There is no submission deadline. The survey is open year-round.
How is the survey administered/distributed?
If you meet the above criteria and have submitted a request to participate, you will receive a link to participate in the Fair360 survey. Additional instructions and information will be shared in that email.
What information will I need to gather in order to complete the survey on behalf of my company?
The survey requires data that correspond with the below areas of workplace inclusion:
- Human Capital Metrics: Total workforce, total management, number of employees at each level of management, promotions, retention and new hires
- Organizational Structure: CEO and Senior Leadership and Executive Human Resources (HR) Councils
- Talent Programs: Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), high potential, mentoring and sponsorship programs
- Talent Acquisition, Development & Management: Talent acquisition, training and talent management
What is the scoring rubric?
Scoring utilizes a proprietary weighted algorithm based on company performance in the areas of workplace inclusion listed above.
What is the reporting period for the survey?
Most companies use the previous calendar year. For example, the 2025 survey would use January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024. However, you may use your company’s fiscal year as your reporting period so long as the timeframe for reporting is consistent year to year. We recommend using the calendar year to give you the most accurate comparative data.
Can we include employees outside of the United States?
No. You may only enter data about your programs and employee representation in the United States (including U.S. territories).
