PART TWO – Your Organization’s DEI-related Beliefs & Perceptions
Objective
Participants will assess their own organization’s DEI-related beliefs and perceptions by comparing them to actual culture assessment results and then collaboratively identify areas of strength and opportunity.
Culture Assessment
A. Group discussion: Before sharing the organizational culture assessment results, the facilitator will ask participants a few questions from the culture assessment to assess what they believe to be true compared to actual results. ***There may only be time to share small portion of the results, so choose a handful of insights you want to share or if there is not time for this, move onto reviewing a portion of the assessment results***
