Confidential and optional identification questions on gender identity and sexual orientation should be included in
at least one of the following:
- Anonymous employee engagement or climate surveys conducted on an annual or biennial basis.
- Data collection forms that collect employee race, ethnicity, gender, military and disability status – typically recorded as part of employee records with strong privacy and confidentiality safeguards.
