It compares demographic data collection practices in Australia, Canada, China, and the U.S., highlighting which identity categories—such as race, gender identity, disability, and sexual orientation—are most frequently tracked. The report also outlines methods to encourage self-ID, including HR systems, engagement surveys, and ERG outreach. These insights help organizations understand global differences in data privacy, reporting norms, and employee participation, supporting more inclusive and compliant workforce analytics.
