Diversity, equity, and inclusion
We deeply respect and value every individual
Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) means that we actively integrate diverse thoughts, perspectives, life experiences, and cultural insights into our work. This tapestry of differences empowers us to deliver superior research and profound insights uniquely crafted by viewing our changing world.
How we advocate
At Leger, we are dedicated to creating an environment where every employee is valued and truly integrated into our company’s journey.
Our goal for each employee is to understand their unique role and voice, cultivating an inclusive culture.
Through our shared vision and steadfast standards, we empower our researchers to conduct unparalleled research for our clients.
Internal programs
Prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) implementation within Leger has been vital. Firmly embedding DEI into our internal programs ensures the authenticity, effectiveness, and long-term sustainability of our DEI initiatives, and this genuine foundation naturally extends to the research we conduct for partners and clients.

Cultivating a diverse employee workforce
In our commitment to diversity, we conduct an annual employee survey to gain a deeper understanding of our workforce composition. This evaluation gives us a picture of our employee mix, including women, persons with disabilities, members of visible minority communities, Indigenous peoples, two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, plus (2SLGBTQ+) people, and more. Our 2023 survey revealed that, collectively, our employees speak thirty different languages and have immigrated from every inhabited continent on the globe. Our comprehensive approach ensures we are not just aware but actively embracing and supporting the rich diversity within our team.
Committed to accessibility in research and employment
We are deeply committed to upholding the highest standards of accessibility. This commitment is firmly rooted in the principles of Canadian and U.S. accessibility laws and standards. We ensure that our research methodologies are inclusive and considerate of all individuals. In parallel, as an employer, we are dedicated to creating a workplace that is not only compliant with Canadian and American laws, but also goes beyond compliance to foster an environment where every employee, regardless of their abilities, can thrive and contribute meaningfully.

Employees guide our DEI efforts
Our employees’ organic, grassroots efforts uniquely drive our DEI approach. Through our DEI leadership committee and network of DEI allies, our team members across North America are the guiding force behind our DEI strategies. Employees from across Leger play a crucial role in setting and delivering on our DEI goals. Working together in 2023, we conducted comprehensive leadership training, refined our research methods, and implemented new sociodemographic standards throughout our organization. These initiatives, grown from the ground up, are not just policies on paper; they embody our commitment to an inclusive workplace, shaped and steered by the people who know us best–our employees.
Our employees’ voices matter
We prioritize creating a secure and confidential space where feedback from our employees across North America is welcomed and highly valued. We conduct an annual employee survey to gauge the effectiveness of our corporate culture and our DEI progress. The results speak volumes about our commitment to these principles.
- An overwhelming 97% agree that employees of all ethnicities, genders, and communities are treated with dignity, equity, and respect.
- Similarly, 97% agree that Leger values diversity.
- Impressively, 95% agree that Leger’s leadership understands that diversity is critical to our future success.

We share best practices with our global network partners (WIN and ESOMAR) as we look to apply inclusive research approaches across all markets.
