Research has found that employees are more likely to flourish at work when they have high quality workplace relationships with people from diverse backgrounds. These relationships can contribute to greater trust, facilitate information sharing, and engender positive emotional connections. Taken together, this can lead to increased productivity and reduced turnover.

There’s still a lot we don’t know about these connections, however. How often do they occur? Between whom? And what can better facilitate them? We’re trying to dig deeper, and we need your help. This survey, which takes approximately 10 minutes to complete, is the first step. We’d love to hear from you, and we’ll share what we learn both on this site and via an episode of the new season of HBR’s Women at Work podcast. You can also stay up to date by including your email address in the survey itself. All responses, of course, are anonymous.

We also wanted to let you know that this survey may be a bit different than ones you’re used to coming from HBR. It asks a series of questions about your personal relationships and activities both inside and outside of work, as well as some questions about you. We want to make sure we receive enough feedback from you in order to contribute to the literature on workplace relationships — and to help managers and employees better understand how to cultivate them. Thank you so much for being a part of what we hope is a project that will change work for the better.
