A panel of experts will review your submission and the evidence that you submit. If there are questions where evidence is not clear or specific enough, you will be given the chance to submit extra information to fully support the point in question. Following the second review by the panel we will finalise your scoring.

Your evidence should be brief and specific to the question and item. A snippet of a file is preferred to an entire document, and please indicate through highlighting etc. where the key information is to be found. Providing a large amount of text or information can impede evaluation and increase the chance that the specific evidence may not be completely evaluated.

Evidence will be submitted in a single file – an instruction file and template file will be provided for you to complete by adding your evidence documentation (screenshots, images, links etc.) to the appropriate area in the template. This will consolidate all evidence into 1 place so that it can be easily stored for reference and re-used as a starting point for you submissions in the following year.

We will only review evidence that is included in the GBM 2026 Evidence document. Any extra files will be disregarded; so please make sure all your evidence is included in the GBM 2026 Evidence document.

Use the file “GBM 2026 <Member Name> Evidence” that you received with your Global Benchmark Survey via email to upload a file, photo, or link for each question for which you are submitting evidence. The document is created with headers; choose the arrow to the left of each header to open it. There you will see each question, answer, and what evidence we are looking for you to submit. You can view more detailed instructions on how to upload evidence here.

When you have completed the Global Benchmark Survey and the Evidence document, send both documents via email to benchmark@workplacepride.org. You do not need to submit additional evidence in that email.
