Gatekeeping in Admissions & Hiring: Recruitment & Retention

The Health of Climate team strives to foster psychological safety and moral courage. The team is invested in bringing experts together with the community, including members of marginalized groups, to create a psychologically safe environment. A community feedback system is being implemented to ensure that workplace climate issues are identified and addressed in a timely manner. The Cultural Competence team builds on that foundation to cultivate an inclusive culture and to unleash the power of diverse perspectives. This team has sponsored events to promote pedagogy that fuses technical subject matter with cultural exploration and has supported community-based workshop participation to address racism and all forms of oppression. Using the Healthy to innovative framework in work and learning spaces can transform climates and cultures to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion as the crux for retention and recruitment.
