Self-ID

Employee Engagement Survey

Self-ID is an initiative that allows associates to share how they identify, helping
us better understand our associate population and where we need to prioritize
our efforts. In 2023, Self-ID expanded to six countries: U.S., U.K., India, Canada,
Australia, Japan reaching 85% of our associate population. This provides theopportunity for associates to voluntarily share information about themselves
across categories such as gender/gender identity, race/ethnicity, sexualorientation, disability, veteran status, which in turn informs programming,benefits and resources.

In 2023, nearly 17,000 of our associates completed our annual employee
engagement survey, GartnerVoice, giving us powerful insight into our culture andour company. The survey asked associates to respond on a five-point “Stronglydisagree” to “Strongly agree” scale to questions such as “I am treated with respect
at work” and “I feel like I can bring my true self to work,” which provide an overall
Inclusion and Belonging score.

89% of associates across the U.S., the U.K.,
India, Canada, Australia and Japan havevoluntarily disclosed at least one
element of their identity.

Gartner is at the top 10% versus the externalbenchmark for Engagement and Intentto Stay. Gartner scores far exceed
Fortune 500 company averages.

30% of the associate population weremembers of at least one of ouremployee resource groups.

Integrating DEI into all that we do
Gartner’s dedication to inclusion is driven by our passionate leaders and associates
around the world. The DEI Center of Excellence operationalizes our strategy andpartners with key stakeholders across Gartner, such as Learning & Development,
the HR Partner organization, Recruiting, Communications, Benefits and Associate
Experience, to execute against it. They provide guidance to support every
business unit on their top DEI priorities.

These efforts are fortified by employee resource groups (ERGs), business unit
Inclusion Councils and regional ambassadors who contextualize our strategy indifferent geographies. Our DEI Executive Council, composed of senior leadersacross Gartner including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Human Resources
Officer, guides and supports the efforts of these teams.

The DEI Talent Acquisition team embeds DEI best practices into our recruitment
and hiring processes.
Gartner cultivates partnerships with a number of external organizations that serve
underrepresented groups to recruit candidates ranging from the university levelto seasoned executives.
• Forté Foundation• Bright Network• Disability:IN• CEMS• BYP• Grow with Google• National Sales Network• ICSC

Through our approach to DEI, we are fostering an environment whereassociates are valued and respected and are empowered to succeed.
By embedding DEI in all that we do, we are enabling equitable talent processes
and engaging events where associates can learn from each other andcontribute their best, driving individual and organizational success.

Talent Acquisition

Inclusion Councils

Consistent with our commitment to providing equal employment opportunities,
the DEI Talent Acquisition (DEI TA) team helps our candidate-facing team members
diversify their talent pools and communicate Gartner’s inclusive culture toprospective candidates. In 2023, DEI TA’s Diversity Sourcing program was adopted
by 100% of recruiters globally. As a result, thousands of candidates associated with
underrepresented groups were identified to participate in our robust interviewing
process and talent cultivation programs with hundreds of offers accepted.

Our Inclusion Councils continued to promote business unit alignment with theoverall DEI strategy and support ongoing initiatives. To further enable inclusivity,
we piloted a tool through our IT, HR, Finance and Legal & Compliance business
units for associates to record their names so that colleagues have access to thecorrect pronunciation.

Regional ambassadors
Our regional ambassadors support programming that is tailored to local needs
and identify opportunities to increase inclusion. In 2023, we created a guidefocused on time zone inclusion for working with teams in multiple geographies.

DEI Learning
Our DEI Learning strategy is focused on embedding DEI themes across all ourcore development programs, and providing voluntary, on-demand learning
opportunities to deliver foundational DEI content to teams. In 2023, we createdenterprisewide DEI Learning modules, discussion guides and manager toolkits
on three themes:• Embracing Individual Identity

2023 saw the launch of Gartner’s first Reconciliation
Action Plan (RAP) to support Indigenous inclusion andemployment in Australia. Our RAP outlines the actions
we’re taking to improve relationships, respect and trust
between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
and the wider Australian community.

Recognizing the importance of “just-in-time” learning we facilitated talent review
training to mitigate bias during year-end performance processes. This included
creating a resource to prepare leaders on how to speak about their talent througha DEI lens.
