JEDI Council at Work

FPM DEI 2022 Climate Survey Result

The JEDI council would like to thank each of you for taking time out of your busy day to complete our survey, 46% of you to be exact.

Based on your responses, the JEDI council identified four areas needing attention:

  1. Compensation
  2. Department members feel they can be their authentic selves
  3. Education
  4. Training

The core of the respondents feels as though their needs are being met. However, it is clear from the “neutral" and "disagree" responses that there are still opportunities for growth. 

Action Plan

I feel appropriately compensated in my current role

  • JEDI council submitted recommendations to improve compensation transparency for faculty & staff to senior leadership
  • Staff leadership developed a comprehensive plan to reorganize and maximize staff roles for each division and provide staff members with guidance toward future reclassifications and promotions.

Department members feel they can be their authentic selves

  • Focus groups with each division, addressing both faculty and staff concerning JEDI-related topics
  • Evaluate and address JEDI on committees & leadership
  • Creating an environment of inclusion for all divisions
  • JEDI representation from all divisions

Education

  • Institute community medicine Grand Rounds
  • Listening sessions

Training

  • Expand current training to include all divisions
  • Develop education around “how to” report concerns
  • Work with leadership on our internal reporting structure

Again, the JEDI Council would like to thank you for your participation!
