How it’s measured operationally
Beyond survey measurement, this construct is also tracked as an operational metric from records:
A composite survey-based metric assessing the degree to which employees feel included and able to participate fully.
Average agreement score across inclusion survey dimensions · indexA single-question inclusion metric expressing the net share of employees who feel included.
iNPS = % Promoters - % Detractors · score§3The math on what we know
Synthesized priors from the live registry: pooled r, studies (k), total N, top study grade, and heterogeneity. Rows flagged for heterogeneity or single-study evidence are directional, not settled — read them as a central tendency.
What drives diversity climate
