Diversity Climate Survey: Your Input Is Critical

To gauge Johns Hopkins' success in creating a culturally inclusive environment, a survey for all employees will be available later this month.

The Diversity Climate Survey, developed by the Johns Hopkins Diversity Leadership Council in partnership with the university Commission on Equity, Civility and Respect and the Johns Hopkins Medicine Diversity Steering Committee, covers a wide variety of topics including leadership, inclusion, training and development, and civility. Participants can share views with respect to Johns Hopkins' strengths as well as areas of opportunity.

Employee input is essential. Data collected from the survey will inform future policy and program development. Along with information from the 2006 survey, this data will serve as a baseline measurement for the Diversity and Inclusion Vision 2020, which focuses on maintaining excellence, reflecting our community, bridging health disparities, building cultural competence and fostering inclusion. The survey, which will be available online and in a print version, will be anonymous. Full participation and honest feedback are the keys to gathering reliable data and creating inclusive programs and policies. All employees are encouraged to take the Diversity Climate Survey and make their opinions known.
