What is the current state of DEI-B policy and practice in Oregon and SW Washington organizations?
What are the tangible, bottom-line benefits of effective DEI-B policy/practice for organizations?
Which DEI-B policies and practices have the biggest impacts on employee well-being, retention, and commitment?
Only by surveying employees in a wide range of organizations can we pinpoint the policies and practices that create the outcomes organizations care about: retention, attraction, productivity, and organizational commitment. This is why your organization’s participation in this project is crucial; we can’t do it without you!
Interviews and surveys will be conducted by Portland State University researchers. These researchers are experts in organizational DEI policy and have worked with organizations in both the U.S. and Europe.
Leaders with knowledge of the organization’s DEI-B policy and practices are encouraged to attend a short in-person or virtual information session with the researchers about the project to address questions and concerns.
