Abstract

Data and evaluation have become integral to efforts aimed at transforming organizational cultures. This is true in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), where organizations are assessing their employee make-up and the impact of their programs and services on systematically marginalized communities. This article presents a case study of a self-identification and workplace experience survey that was the first of its kind at the Provincial Health Services Authority in British Columbia. With a 30.7% response rate, we share an overview of the survey, lessons learned, and recommendations for other healthcare institutions embarking on their DEI journey. Key takeaways include engaging leaders early and allowing adequate time and resources for planning and executing the survey. Confidentiality is a crucial element to ensure that everyone feels confident to take the survey. Ultimately, adequate implementation of actions from survey results will build trust among staff and advance DEI priorities in organizations.
