People, Processes and Practices: Eaton's Employee Inclusion Index
Originally published in 2021 Global Inclusion and Diversity Transparency Report
Listening matters
In 2021, 74% of our global workforce took part in the employee survey that Eaton conducts every other year to listen to our employees, improve our culture and make us a better company. This level of engagement marked a 4% increase over our 2018 results, which was the last time we conducted a global employee survey. The survey found that 86% of employees who participated said they were proud to work at Eaton.
This was also the first year we added optional demographic questions. Where possible, employees were asked about their disability, LGBTQ+ and veteran status. Our intention was to gain visibility into how we could create a more inclusive experience for our workforce.
“We learned from our most recent survey that our teams want more transparent conversations, increased recognition, stronger cooperation across departments and equitable career opportunities.”
