Data on the diversity of our team, management and board in 2026, as part of our ongoing work to build a more inclusive workplace culture.
In spring 2026 we surveyed members of the Spektrix team about aspects of their identity. We have carried out similar surveys regularly since 2020, helping us to understand the demographic makeup of our team and measure the impact of our work to build an increasingly diverse team and inclusive culture.
This year, we have improved the format to draw clearer three-year comparisons across our team, management, leadership, and board, as well as adding aggregate numbers for our entire workforce.
If you have questions about any of our plans or approach, we’d be delighted to speak with you. Please reach out on consultation@spektrix.com.
How to read the data
94.7% of all team members responded to the survey in 2026.
Board: 100% Senior Leadership Group (SLG): 100% Managers & Leads: 94.5% Team members: 92.5%
All figures are shown as percentages. Team members who did not participate in a given year are excluded from the data for that year, but may be included in data for other years. Percentages are therefore a proportion of participants, rather than a proportion of all team members.
At Board and Senior Leadership Group (SLG) level, we’re looking at small numbers of people, meaning that a single change within the team can have a significant impact on percentages.
Blank, grey cells represent data which was unavailable or not asked in a given year. White cells with a dash mean the question was asked, but no-one gave this response.
Spektrix team data, 2023–2026
What was the occupation of your main household earner when you were aged about 14?
This question looks at the socio-economic background of team members (i.e. how privileged/affluent a background people have come from). There is no perfect way to measure socio-economic background, however we have taken the approach recommended by the UK’s Social Mobility Commission.
Respondents selected one of seven categories, which have been aligned to three economic background levels in this data in line with Social Mobility Commission guidance.
A free text field was not offered for this question.

What nationality(ies) are you?
Spektrix offices are based in the UK, US, and Australia.
Which, if any, of the following categories appropriately describes your race and/or ethnicity?
The options presented for this question were based on a combination of census categories from the UK and US.
Before asking people to choose a category, we invited them to self-identify using a free text field. The combination of free text and categorised data allows us both to recognise and list people’s self-described identities, and to draw useful comparisons over time and across the team.

Which, if any, of the following categories appropriately describes your religion?
We asked this question for the first time in 2024, with the aim of growing a fuller understanding of our team.
Our choice of options in the first year was drawn from the Office of National Statistics in the UK. This year, we added options based on people’s free-text responses to that question.
