Volunteer

Become a Floor Surveyor.

Our 412 volunteer surveyors are the backbone of the Workplace Readiness Index. With a clipboard, a keen eye, and a free afternoon, you can help millions of workers know their options.

The role

What surveyors do

📋

Assess

Score facilities on paper quality, partition height, lighting, ventilation, and floor coverage using the WRI v3.2 protocol.

🗺

Map

Document locations, occupancy patterns, and peak hours. Most surveys take 15 minutes — or as long as you need.

📤

Report

Submit findings through our secure portal. Your data feeds directly into State of the Stall and our employer certification program.

Is this right for me?

The best surveyors are observant, discreet, and comfortable spending time in places most people try to leave quickly. No experience is required.

Commitment

  • Two to four surveys per month, on your own schedule
  • A 90-minute online training (certificate included)
  • Optional quarterly calibration sessions with your regional lead

What you'll get

  • An official Floor Surveyor lanyard and clipboard
  • Early access to State of the Stall findings
  • Recognition in our Annual Report
  • A deep, permanent knowledge of your city's best facilities

Surveyor code of conduct

Surveyors assess facilities only — never occupants. Surveys are conducted during business hours, in publicly accessible or employer-authorized spaces, and always with respect for privacy. Knock first.
