Equity Audit

Equity Audit

Many organizations know they need to be more intentional about building cultural inclusion, but they don’t know where to begin. We recommend considering an Equity Audit (Exploration, Assessment & Recommendations) to discover how inclusive your organization is currently.
Assessment Cultural Climate

1. Review/Exploration & Assessment of Cultural Climate (Equity Audit)

  • Gain an understanding of your organizational climate re: DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion)

  • Review inward and outward-facing materials, e.g., website, promotional materials, newsletters, policies, etc.

  • Review prior climate survey results, if applicable and available

  • May include development, dissemination, and analysis of a climate survey tailored specifically to the DEI goals and objectives of your organization

  • May include interviews with key stakeholders (could include: staff, leadership, constituents, board, customers, etc.)

  • Assessment of organizational interpersonal cultural climate

  • Includes a written report documenting results of assessment and recommendations for shifting your organization’s cultural climate
DEI Strategic Plan

2. Development of DEI Strategic Plan

  • Work in collaboration with your organization to develop a DEI strategic plan

  • Includes vision, goals, benchmarks, timelines, and allocation of responsibilities

  • a continual “working document” – not something for the shelf
