1 - Internal research to include; demographic data, assessment of understanding of diversity & inclusion, barriers to inclusion, internal culture.
 
2 - External data collection to include; demographic make-up of partner organisations
 
3 - Public feedback form to gather experiences with the campaign
 
4 - Share EDI strategy across EMA teams
 
5 - Publish results of research for transparency (infographics and/or reports) - internal & external

I think that the first four must be completed before we can publish a report.

What should the EDI team's top priority be for the first month? Closed Sat 7 Nov 2020 12:04AM

Outcome

Our first priority will be to establish our goal, purpose and strategy! Thanks for voting!

Choose the primary area which the EDI team should focus on for the first month. (All areas can & will be worked on simultaneously, depending on what we are each interested in. But, it's a good idea to first ensure we're all on the same page for our initial action).

See Diversity & Inclusion Ideas Spreadsheet for details pertaining to each section. (NB - The ideas on this spreadsheet do not contain some actions from the current Milestone Plan. The results of this Loomio thread will inform the EDI team's new Milestone Plan, into which any outstanding actions from the old plan will be assimilated). :)

Defining EDI goals, purpose & strategy

I think that "Defining EDI goals, purpose and strategy" should go together with "Data collection" and that both these aspects should be the top priorities of the D&I team. This double action plan should result in the creation of guidelines to be distributed to EMA and all national and city chapters. The "Social media & web" action plan should be implemented to ncrease EMA's visibility and accessibility, while "HR/Recrutement" and "External partnerhips" should be the last ones.

Defining EDI goals, purpose & strategy

It's key to deciding/guiding strategy and action in all the other action lines

The first three need to be defined and solidified before we can even produce a practical guide / best practices.
