Your journey to incorporate diversity, equity and inclusion concepts within your organization begins here!
Building a workforce where all people feel welcome and included can increase job satisfaction, attract new workers and strengthen employee retention. It can also help your organization’s staff and leaders understand issues facing the people and communities you serve.
We at the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque are on our own journey to incorporate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) concepts into our work. We have collected numerous resources and learning tools that we have used in our DEI workshops for team members, and we are pleased to share them with any organization that is seeking to deepen its staff’s understanding of these important issues.
These resources come from our staff’s personal research as well as recommendations from community members. If you have a resource you think would be helpful to include in this toolkit, share it with us! Email Clara Lopez Ortiz at clara@dbqfoundation.org.
