Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Audit

Thank you for taking the time to provide important feedback to the Rotary Club of Edmonton Whyte Avenue. Below you will find definitions of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion developed by the Club’s EDI Committee. With these as the foundation, we ask that you complete the anonymous survey below, providing your rating and rationale for the rating in each comment box. Your feedback will be integral to club’s strategic direction moving forward.

Definitions:
Diversity – The range of human difference, experiences, and perspectives. Diversity includes the protected grounds listen in the Alberta Human Rights Act, and includes (but is not limited to) difference in personality, thoughts, life experiences, learning styles, work styles and viewpoints.
Equity – Acknowledging that people have diverse needs to achieve a common outcome. Equity involves examining and recognizing the root causes of inequality and removing systemic barriers to ensure each person can access the opportunities, network, resources and supports they need through accommodation. Barriers will be understood through an intersectional lens, to ensure a thorough and comprehensive understanding of contributing factors. Equity is distinct from equality, which involves treating each person the same regardless of their diverse needs.
Inclusion – Valuing and embracing diversity to ensure the active participation and feeling of belonging of all individuals and groups. Inclusive environments welcome and embrace differences, while viewing them as strengths in creating an innovative and forward-thinking organization and community.
Psychological Safety – An empowering and inclusive space where individuals feel able to make mistakes and take risks without being severely penalized.
