Redeemer Health's commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) consists of strategic priorities that exemplify our commitment and promote a workplace that upholds respect, fairness, empathy, and compassion for all.
"Our DEI commitment focuses on six key areas that were determined after conducting a comprehensive assessment examining our organizational culture behaviors, attitudes, values, and beliefs as they relate to people, policy, and practice," says Patrice Morris, Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer and Dean of Redeemer U.
There is a DEI Governance Workgroup that provides oversight of these six key areas, as well as reviews and gives guidance for DEI goals and objectives that further emerge.
The DEI priorities encompass:
- Recruitment and Retention - Recruit, develop, mentor, promote, and retain a diverse and inclusive workforce.
- Education and Training - Provide intentional and culturally competent education opportunities to all staff.
- Community Partnerships and Collaborations - Establish relationships and partnerships that support addressing health disparities and inequities that our communities may experience.
- Communication - Implement accessible and equitable communication tools and processes that are inclusive and that advance multi-cultural understanding.
- Recognition and Celebration - Develop a plan to recognize and celebrate Redeemer Health's diverse people, cultures, and beliefs.
- Compensation and Policy - Consistently assess compensation and policies to ensure equity across all positions.
"With the DEI priorities identified, continued workforce participation and collaboration are essential to help implement actions that sustain our commitment to DEI," adds Patrice.
