Organizational Planning for DEIA: A 100 Level Course, Session Four, Identifying Organizational Areas of Inequity: October 8, 2021

Organizations have the power to help address and reduce inequities experienced by their personnel and stakeholders, especially those of whom come from marginalized communities. An organization’s inequities can arise from structures and hierarchies put in place that are harmful to people of color, LGBTQ+ community members, or people with varying abilities. This session will help participants identify unfair treatment, policies, and structures relative to stakeholders within their organizations. Participants will investigate unconscious bias in things such as pay discrepancies, decision-making processes, and career development opportunities. Organizations that identify the underlying issues of inequity are taking an important first step in resolving organizational inequities. This session will help participants take the steps after that needed to address inequities head-on.
