The Firm invites you to participate in byrne.dean's anonymous survey into diversity and inclusion. The survey will form an important part of our diversity workshop on [] June. The Firm is asking the entire staff population to complete the survey - it contains only 10 questions and should not take you more than about ten minutes (depending on how hard you think about your answers!). We hugely value your input and look forward to receiving your frank and honest opinons.
Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential. If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact Alison Best of byrne.dean at
[email protected]
or [Firm contact].

Firms ought to be taking steps, but any efforts will probably be futile – things are too ingrained
