What are the current diversity issues within our organization?
An organization should conduct an assessment to determine level of diversity issues both internal and external. Use standardized quantitative (measurable) and qualitative collection methods to gather valid and reliable information that will evaluate current diversity issues. Examples of tools that can be used to acquire both types of data are surveys, interviews, and focus groups. The information collected will serve as the foundation of initiatives to deal with issues. Thus it is critical that the data obtained represents the true reality of current practices. • How involved is our community? Engage your community. An organization should proactively build relationships with community groups and members to ensure that their diverse needs are represented in the organization s practices. To meet this need, form designated committees who will be tasked with exploring and building relationships. In addition, conduct focus group interviews (in person or by phone) to gather feedback.
