nullable: true, editable: true, defaultValue: null, length: 255, alias: Thank you in advance for dedicating time to participate in our Behavioral Health – Inclusion and Belonging Workforce Survey. Your feedback and responses are highly appreciated. To ensure that this survey effectively enhances our collaborative efforts, it is crucial for all staff members to grasp the fundamental principles of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). DEI is a framework and approach that promotes and supports equal representation, fairness, and respect for all individuals, regardless of their backgrounds, identities, or characteristics.
In this survey, diversity encompasses a broad range of human differences and perspectives, such as race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, religion, socioeconomic status, and cultural background. It recognizes and values the unique experiences and contributions of everyone within our diverse staff.
Equity emphasizes the importance of fairness and justice by identifying and addressing systemic barriers. It involves taking proactive steps to create equal opportunities for all staff members, recognizing and rectifying historical and current disadvantages faced by marginalized groups.
Inclusion is a key component of our survey. It focuses on creating an environment where every staff member feels welcomed, respected, and valued. We strive to foster a culture that actively embraces diversity, promotes collaboration, and provides equal access to opportunities and resources for everyone.
Your participation in this survey plays a pivotal role in our continuous endeavors to develop an inclusive and equitable department.
Your valuable perspectives will help shape future initiatives and foster a sense of belonging for all staff members and the community that we serve.
DEI initiatives and practices within the Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) are essential for constructing inclusive and equitable programs, policies, and communities. Here, diversity is not merely acknowledged but actively utilized to propel innovation, creativity, and overall success., type: esriFieldTypeString
