Building DEI in Leadership: Module 2 homework

Guidelines:

 

In module 2, we explored various DEI action plans from a cross-section of the sectors in which many of you work, including health and social services, arts, culture and recreation, and education. We also explored action plans from various levels of government and an international example.

 

We closed the face-to-face session with setting you on your journey to devise and implement a DEI action plan for your own organization. In order to support you on this journey, to continue building a community of DEI champions, and to extend engagement between modules, we encourage you to discuss the following questions in your groups or as a group.

 

You may use various media to discuss and share your experiences, including text, brief (1 or 2 minute) audio recordings, video recordings, and digital photographs.

 

Questions:

 

1.      Given the smallness and scarce resources of many of you working in the not-for-profit/community sector, what elements in your DEI action plan are you finding that you need to focus on? Which elements do you feel you may not be able to address?

 

2.      How are you addressing key measures in your DEI action plans such as:

 

·         success measures;

·         SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, timed) targets; and,

 

·         collecting relevant evidence, knowledge and data?
