Why this Commitment?

The Workplace Inclusion Charter’s success is thanks in large part to employer partners whose insights help ensure the program is both actionable and impactful. Many employers have used WIC commitments as a jumping off point for additional diversity, equity, and inclusion work. Several, have invested significant time developing tools, procedures, and policies that meet or exceed WIC commitment standards.

This commitment recognizes those Workplace Inclusion Champions who share these helpful resources and lessons learned to help other employers implement the WIC, as well as those whose consultation helps develop and improve the WIC program.

• Workplace Inclusion Charter Working Group members who consulted on the creation of the 2024 WIC (meetings held March - May 2024) have completed this commitment.

• Returning WIC signatories can complete this commitment by mentoring one or more new signatories or sharing resources in Basecamp.

• First time WIC signatories can contribute by actively participating in a special WIC 2024 debrief meeting.

Evaluation Plan

In January 2025, we will:

• Compile a list of organizations who were actively represented in the 2024 Workplace Inclusion Charter Working Group or who shared resources in the 2024 Workplace Inclusion Charter Signatories Group on Basecamp.

• Ask returning signatories which new signatories they mentored or shared resources with. We will contact the named individuals for a testimonial or confirmation that mentorship took place.

• Invite first time signatories to a 1-2 hour debrief (program evaluation) meeting for new signatories.

Active participants in the 2024 working group, mentorship program, or Debrief for New Signatories will be recognized for completion of this commitment.

Resources

All 2024 WIC signatories will be sent a personal invitation to the 2024 Workplace Inclusion Charter Signatories Group on Basecamp, along with instructions on how to use the platform. We encourage you to use the Basecamp space to ask questions, share information, and connect with other signatories.
