DEI at a Post Secondary Institution - Increased Engagement

Business Situation

Employees were not providing input and feedback on DEIB because they feared the information collected wouldn’t be held confidentially.  The topics involved in the program were extremely sensitive and require delicate management.

For this institution, funding relies on having a strong culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.  The client needed to ensure that they were meeting the needs of various stakeholders and communities.

Prompta was engaged to perform a DEIB (diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging) assessment and transition program.  This would be the foundation for sustainable cultural change.

Prompta’s Solution

Prompta designed a current state audit as well as education & training that enabled the team to positively engage with the sensitive topics.

Current state audits were conducted via Prompta AI. To increase engagement, Prompta developed communications that highlighted the privacy and confidentiality of responses.  Although completion rates were initially low, the communications raised response rates over time.

The audits were complimented with training and education for the Board of Directors and Leadership teams. These training sessions covered bias, power & privilege, and unintentional exclusion.

Business Outcomes

Employees became more confident with the survey anonymity and confidentiality, and they started sharing their lived experience without fear or apprehension.  The engagement rate for the survey was the highest the client had ever achieved.

Prompta helped a post secondary institution with a DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging) cultural change by increasing survey engagement rates, conducting executive training, and developing program plans. This resulted in the highest employee engagement survey rates ever achieved in the organization.
