Frequently asked questions

… about participating in the Workplace Pride Global Benchmark.

How much detail does my organisation need to provide as evidence?John2026-03-10T09:09:47+01:00

How much detail does my organisation need to provide as evidence?

Your evidence should be brief and specific to the question and item. A snippet of a file is preferred to an entire document, and please indicate through highlighting etc. where the key information is to be found. Providing a large amount of text or information can impede evaluation and increase the chance that the specific evidence may not be completely evaluated.

How is evidence evaluated?

A panel of experts will review your submission and the evidence that you submit. If there are questions where evidence is not clear or specific enough, you will be given the chance to submit extra information to fully support the point in question. Following the second review by the panel we will finalize your scoring.

Can you check a box if you don’t meet the criteria in all of your (global) locations?John2026-03-10T09:08:39+01:00

Can you check a box if you don’t meet the criteria in all of your (global) locations?

If you meet the criteria in 1 or 2 locations included in your submission, you may check the box for that point. We cannot ask you to submit evidence for each of your locations separately, nor could we review all of that evidence if it was provided.

The evidence you submit must show clearly that you do meet the specific criteria in at least 1 location. This indicates to us that you have done the work needed to make progress on this point and know what you need to do to implement it in the rest of your locations.

How does evidence contribute to your score in the Global Benchmark?John2026-03-10T09:08:16+01:00

How does evidence contribute to your score in the Global Benchmark?

Where evidence is required, you will only receive full points for that question or option if you submit evidence that clearly and succinctly supports the response.

How can we best organise the collection of evidence?John2026-03-10T09:10:17+01:00

How can we best organise the collection of evidence?

Here are some ideas that you could consider:

Keep track by question of the sources (who provided the information, the document or URL where you found the information) that you have used to answer the question and find supporting evidence. This will avoid you needing to search every year for that information.

Use your LGBTIQ+ employee network and allies to help gather the information. This increases engagement and shares the workload.

As you gather information, note significant achievements and things that you are particularly proud of. Consider using these to nominate yourselves or someone else for a member award at the annual Impact Awards Gala held in October/November – nominations open in the autumn each year. Award categories are:

– LGBTIQ+ Network Award

– LGBTIQ+ Media Outreach Award

– LGBTIQ+ Volunteer Award

– LGBTIQ+ Ally Award

– LGBTIQ+ Role Model Award

– LGBTIQ+ Game Changer Award.
