DEI Research That Drives Real Change

DEI research gives organisations the data they need to move beyond aspirational statements to measurable progress. Meraki Research designs confidential diversity, equity, and inclusion studies that reveal employee experience across demographic groups, levels, and departments.

Inclusion & Belonging Surveys

We measure the dimensions that matter most: psychological safety, voice, belonging, respect, and equitable access to opportunity. Our surveys are designed to surface disparities in experience across gender, race, age, disability, and other dimensions.

Equity Perception Research

Do employees perceive your systems as fair? We assess perceptions of equity in hiring, promotion, pay, performance evaluation, and access to development — identifying where process gaps create experience gaps.

Qualitative DEI Research

Numbers tell you what; stories tell you why. We conduct confidential focus groups and interviews that explore the lived experience of underrepresented groups within your organisation.

DEI Benchmarking & Tracking

Measure progress over time with annual or biannual DEI tracking studies. We benchmark your results against industry norms and track movement on key inclusion metrics.

Frequently asked questions

DEI research measures employee perceptions of diversity (representation), equity (fairness of systems and processes), and inclusion (belonging and psychological safety) — across demographic groups, departments, and levels.

Absolutely. Confidentiality is non-negotiable for DEI research. We use third-party administration, anonymised data handling, and minimum reporting thresholds to protect respondent identity while still delivering actionable group-level insights.

South Africa's unique history requires culturally informed DEI research. We incorporate B-BBEE dimensions, language equity, and the specific inclusion dynamics of South African workplaces into our frameworks.
