4 <br /> <br />2. Surveys <br />Surveys provide a useful tool that allow for a much larger sampling of personnel and other stakeholders <br />regarding attitudes, beliefs, and opinions with respect to Client’s TU competency and capacity. Surveys <br />measure how respondent attitudes, beliefs, and perspectives can change over time through quantitative <br />data and measurement. <br />Consultant will administer the survey and tabulate data findings that will inform higher order analysis <br />conducted by Consultant. Consultant proposes that a survey should be conducted at the beginning of <br />the engagement that will provide a baseline for comparing results of future surveys. <br />Consultant will conduct an online anonymous Climate Survey to be shared with all participants.3 <br />Consultant will work collaboratively with Client to modify the survey to the organization’s context and <br />needs. The goal of the Climate Survey is to attain an understanding of equity and related topics, <br />comfort in addressing issues related to identity difference, and perspectives on the impact of identity <br />dynamics on the work of the organization. <br />In addition to these engagement measures, the Climate Survey will assess constructs that can help to <br />inform best practices, such as experiences of belonging, respect, and investment; alignment of <br />leadership’s behavior to the organization’s and community’s goals; feedback on policies and initiatives; <br />support by internal leadership and community representatives; and/or other relevant constructs. <br />All data collected through the survey will be completely anonymous and will be held by the Consultant. <br />Consultant will then aggregate and cut data by salient identity groups (such as race and gender) to <br />surface differential experiences, and by role to identify insights, as well as organization and community- <br />wide trends and issues. <br />3. Focus Groups <br />Focus groups allow for a more in-depth conversation with small groups by providing an opportunity for <br />different segment groups to share input together, such as people of color, union representatives, <br />LGBTQ staff, employees with disabilities, residents, and community organization representatives. <br />Focus groups provide a forum for discussions concerning experience and performance of population <br />segments, including successful strategies, services and programs, potential employment barriers, <br />discrimination, and implicit bias, as well as ideas for systems change. <br />Consultant will prepare discussion questions and facilitate the focus groups. Client focus group <br />participants will be asked to allocate two hours per session to engage in discussions and no <br />preparation is required. <br />Focus groups will be identified in consultation with Client. Groups will meet via Zoom with the capacity <br />for breakout subgroups. <br /> <br /> <br />3 The Climate Survey is an assessment designed by the Perception Institute.
