Diversity Survey

To gauge Johns Hopkins’ success in creating a culturally diverse environment, a new survey for all employees and faculty members is available through March 13. The Diversity Climate Survey, which was developed by the Johns Hopkins’ Diversity Leadership Council in partnership with the Commission on Equity, Civility and Respect and the Diversity Steering Committee, covers a wide variety of topics, including leadership, inclusion and civility. Participants can share views with respect to Hopkins’ strengths as well as areas of opportunity. Data collected from the survey will inform future policy and program development. The survey is completely anonymous and it is available online at www.insidehopkinsmedicine.org/climatesurvey or at Phipps 404. Take 15 minutes to complete the survey and make your opinions known.

Dome is an award-winning monthly tabloid for employees, patients, visitors and friends of Johns Hopkins Medicine.
