Self-Assessments and Conversation Supports
It can be helpful to have tools that help us understand where we are in embracing diversity, equity and inclusion as individuals and as organizations.
The following resources can also be used to support conversation, to provide a frame for dialogue that invites us to be clear and aligned in what progress has looked like on our journeys, and what outcomes we hope to achieve. As with any of the resources on this site, we strongly encourage users to review them in the context that the creator/designer has identified.
