Everything you need to know
Who should take the scan?
We invite all European companies with 10+ employees in the tech and digital sector, ranging from startups to SMEs or large corporations, to participate. Whether you’re taking the scan for the first time or returning to measure your progress, this tool is designed to provide value at every stage of your DEI journey.
The questions focus on your company’s DEI policies and practices, so we recommend that a member from your executive team (including C-level leaders and directors), HR leaders, or DEI specialists complete the scan. It doesn’t matter how much or how little you’re already doing on DEI—this scan is a valuable tool to track progress and uncover opportunities for growth.
I’m not a C-level or DEI Lead, but I think my company should participate. Can I take the scan?
Absolutely! While the scan is best completed by HR leaders, DEI specialists, or executive team members, anyone can champion the importance of participation. Share the details of the scan (this page) with your leadership team or DEI committee to encourage involvement.
What does it cover?
The DEI Scan is structured around proven research frameworks, developed with Techleap, Booking.com, Taskforce D&I by NLdigital, and the University of Amsterdam. It explores three key areas:
- General info about your company
- Policies, processes, and strategies related to DEI
- The business impact of your DEI practices
How much time do I need?
The DEI Scan takes approximately 15 minutes. It’s designed to be quick, with a mix of open-ended, multiple-choice, and closed questions.
What happens after I take the scan
You’ll receive a customized DEI Maturity Report with clear next steps to strengthen your organization’s DEI impact.
Do I need to prepare anything in advance before taking the scan?
No preparation needed! Just come ready to answer each question openly and honestly. Whether you’re confident in your current DEI efforts or just starting out, your answers will provide a clear and accurate picture of where your company stands.
Why should I redo the scan if I’ve already done it?
Good question! Taking the scan again allows you to measure year-over-year progress, assess the effectiveness of your DEI strategies, and discover new opportunities for growth. It ensures your efforts remain aligned with evolving goals and industry trends, keeping your organization ahead.
When will I get the results?
After completing the DEI-scan you’ll immediately receive your personalized DEI Maturity Assessment This in-depth report compares your DEI practices with similar companies and identifies opportunities for growth.
And you’ll also receive a tailored DEI Roadmap and Action Plan to guide your next steps, set clear goals, and help you progress to the next DEI maturity level.
If your company has previously completed the DEI Scan (e.g., in 2024), the report will also include insights into your progress compared to your last assessment, highlighting improvements and areas that need further development.
What if we score poorly on the scan?
A low score is not a failure—it’s a foundation for growth. The DEI Scan highlights areas of improvement and provides a roadmap to help you take the next steps toward meaningful change.
What happens if we don’t finish the scan?
If you need to step away, no problem—you can save your progress and return later to complete it. However, submitting the scan ensures you receive your personalized DEI report and actionable next steps to guide your journey.
How can I make sure my company participates?
Start by discussing the benefits of the DEI Scan with your colleagues or leadership. Highlight how it provides valuable insights, benchmarks, and a clear action plan to strengthen DEI efforts. Feel free to contact us if you need additional resources to help make the case.
When will the benchmark be published?
