IBPA 360 DIBs Assessment Survey

The following questions will help inform the direction of IBPA’s recently announced DEI plan. IBPA recognizes that this work is never done and is committed to continued process in this area. IBPA’s DEI Task Force appreciates your honest input on the first steps it will take.

Question Title

* 1. The following best describes me at work:

When I have the choice, I prefer to engage with people who are like me, and that's what I do.

When I have the choice, I will engage with people who are not like me. It's mostly surface stuff, rarely - if ever - deep or meaningful.

I want to engage and have meaningful interactions with people who are not like me. I can't bring myself to do it, not yet.

I push myself to have meaningful interactions with people who are not like me. It takes effort, but it's worth it.

I instinctively engage and work with people who are not like me, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Question Title

* 2. The following best describes my thoughts about non-business conversations around Race and 'difference' in the workplace:

Non-business conversations about Race and 'difference' don’t belong in the workplace.

Non-business conversations about Race and 'difference' sometimes happen, it's uncomfortable and mostly unnecessary. I’m not convinced of a direct business connection.

Non-business conversations about Race and 'difference' happen, it’s interesting. Maybe there's a business connection, I'm not sure. I want to initiate more, I have questions, but I don’t ask.

Non-business conversations about Race and 'difference' happen. I think they make us better. I encourage myself to ask questions to help me understand other perspectives. It's worth the discomfort.

Non-business conversations about Race and 'difference' are easy, normal, and increase our ability to be successful. We should all be comfortable with it, I am.
