Why was IDEA Collective created?
Why was IDEA Collective created?
IDEA Collective was created to proactively address and advance inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility (IDEA) within the department by advocating for these values and facilitating a space for meaningful dialogue and positive change.
Given that some employees can experience discomfort sharing their EDI-related feedback with their managers, reaching out to IDEA Collective can be an alternative to ensure employees' issues, improvement ideas and recommendations are being heard, addressed and raised with the Inclusion Team when necessary. We’ve recently begun to work more closely with Amy Sylla on IDEA-related work within the department and have formalized our scope of work.
