Assessing Cultural Climate

Assessment is an integral part of any strategic effort. This course provides a familiarization of assessment practices and provides learners with various traditional and nontraditional methods of measurement to assist in making informed improvements to their DE&I initiatives.

By the end of this course, you will be able to: 1. Examine the benefits of benchmarking DE&I efforts internally and against other institutions. 2. Identify variables related to DE&I assessment and how the peer review may be used in this approach. 3. Discover the elements of a successful DE&I statement and how to assess its effectiveness. 4. Describe how ethnography and strategic foresight can be used to address systemic discrimination, social justice and other DE&I concerns in your organization.
