Our Actions
Recruitment and Employment: We are committed to equitable recruitment practices that encourage applications from diverse communities, particularly those underrepresented in our field. Hiring, promotions, and pay will be based on merit, competence, and organizational needs.
Training and Development: We provide DEI training and development opportunities to all staff and volunteers, helping them understand biases and how to avoid them. Regular training supports career development and fosters an inclusive culture.
Accessibility and Accommodation: We make reasonable accommodations to reduce barriers for staff and volunteers with disabilities, ensuring our facilities and communications are accessible to individuals of all abilities.
Workplace Culture: We strive to create a workplace where diverse perspectives and experiences are welcomed and respected. Discrimination, harassment, or any behaviors undermining a culture of inclusivity will not be tolerated.
Feedback and Continuous Improvement: We encourage feedback on our policies and practices and commit to continuous monitoring and improvement of our DEI efforts. Regular reviews help us adapt and respond to the challenges faced by our diverse community.
Accountability
All employees and volunteers of VWB NA are expected to uphold this policy and contribute to an environment that is respectful and welcoming. Breaches of this policy will be taken seriously and may result in disciplinary action.
