Why is Race/Ethnicity asked this way?
We offer standard wording consistent with measurement guidance in different countries.
In the U.K, we base our categories off this guidance:
- Asian/AsianBritish
- Black/African/Caribbean/Black British
- Mixed/Multiple Ethnic Groups
- White
- Other (Specify)
In the U.S. we base our categories off the latest guidance for EEO-1 reporting:
- Asian
- American Indian or Alaska Native
- Black or African American
- Hispanic or Latino
- Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander
- White (Not Hispanic or Latinx)
- Two or More Races (Not Hispanic or Latinx)
- Other (specify)
NOTE: (Small to midsize organizations often do not include American Indian/Alaskan native or Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander categories unless they are specifically addressing these populations or need EEO-1 reporting; this is because minorities often fear their answers are identifiable if they expect being an “only” in a category)
In other countries, we offer these standard categories:
- Arab
- Asian
- Black/Black African/Caribbean
- Hispanic/Latinx
- White (not Hispanic)
- Two or more Ethnic Groups
- Other (specify)
Depending on your service level, these categories can be customized to your organization. If customization is needed, ask your Pulsely Advisor about the change fee.
