Each year for the past three years, the New York Times has published something called [the Glass Ceiling Index](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/04/24/upshot/women-and-men-named-john.html).

The index provides a look at the number of women and men in important leadership roles in American life.

## This year, the headline read: “**The top jobs where women are outnumbered by men named John**.”

At first, we saw the headline and laughed. After all, it’s pretty ridiculous that you’re more likely to find a “John” in a position of leadership in this country than you are a woman. But then we started thinking, and asking ourselves, **Where is this information for the energy sector?**

## The answer? Nowhere — until now.

Experience Energy, a Pink Petro company, is launching today the [Energy Diversity and Inclusion Index™](https://www.surveymonkey.com/survey-closed/?sm=AyBrdQ2drFumb5liiHN9zlQZLMhqaEPR8NbqV14A38abpRQIrj6gmXPacwGOzzoB3cNGdcEx8vtcS7d_2BCTRZKsNSGC7UMgwTpQ24BM0_2B2_2F8_3D) — the first survey of its kind that will examine the state of inclusion across our industry. But we aren’t looking at names; we’re going deeper than that to uncover what makes a culture truly inclusive. The research focuses on c-suite engagement, policies, culture around belonging and inclusion across gender, ethnicity and other intersections, supplier diversity, community outreach and ESG practices.

The questions — pulled together with the help of cutting-edge tools made available by **SurveyMonkey and Stanford University **— cover those aspects of culture and inclusion that are hard to quantify: a sense of belonging, professional development opportunities, the ability to voice opinions, being valued, and fairness — in promotions, compensation and feedback.  After all, we know that pay is just one metric, and one that many industry surveys focus on.  More and more, we know that **meaning, culture and belonging are the secret sauce to a great workplace.**

## Why does this kind of work matter?

Because what gets measured gets changed, and a more inclusive energy industry is a more profitable, innovative, safe and sustainable one.

For our members and energy companies, this is **an independent opportunity to make your voice heard**. The survey allows you to weigh in on the state of D&I in energy now, and what needs to happen moving forward. And it only takes 8 minutes of your time. **[Click here to get started](https://www.surveymonkey.com/survey-closed/?sm=AyBrdQ2drFumb5liiHN9zlQZLMhqaEPR8NbqV14A38abpRQIrj6gmXPacwGOzzoB3cNGdcEx8vtcS7d_2BCTRZKsNSGC7UMgwTpQ24BM0_2B2_2F8_3D).  **

Once we’ve collected all this information, we’ll talk about what we learned at the **[GRIT Awards on Oct. 3](http://thegritawards.com)** in Houston, an experience that will also be streamed live online. In addition to keynote addresses from** INTECSEA President Geeta Thakorlal** and **futurist Crystal Washington**, we’re assembling a panel of energy leaders and experts, sponsored by our good friends at **NES Global Talent**, to talk about the results of the survey and talk through what it all means for where we are now and where we’re headed. **([Get your tickets today!](http://www.thegritawards.com))**

## We say it all the time:** the new T’s and C’s in energy are talent and culture**.

The Energy Diversity and Inclusion Index™ is the tool in fostering that transformation. The faster our industry goes beyond diversity and embraces inclusion, the stronger we become.
