PHASE
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
KEY STEPS
Transforming Organization Culture
• Can work effectively with other government agencies and Ministries.
Ensure that the BC Housing’s Executive Committee and other departments support the decision. Seek a champion from within the department through a request for interest from within the department. Recruit an expert in diversity data collection, privacy and data base management through a competitive process. Complete a review of existing data and information policies, processes and standards within BC Housing (where and how is data collected, what does the information tell us). Identify gaps in data and create a Diversity Data Framework with principles, collection and use guidelines and data standards. Communicate this Framework within BC Housing and to partners for dialogue and input. Create accountability within BC Housing planning, budgeting and decision-making that aligns with this Framework. Identify and engage Indigenous speakers and guests to discuss reconciliation with Board members. Recruit a facilitator from time to time to manage discussions at meetings on ways that the Board can implement reconciliation based on BC Housing’s work toward a Reconciliation Strategy.
Following the review of staff and board identity factors for recruitment and retention, adopt a standard of collecting information on diversity, equity, and inclusion factors, while at the same time ensuring that participants are given an option to ‘opt-out’ for privacy concerns.
Phase 2 Include the topic of reconciliation as a standing agenda item for Board
meetings and provide time for members to discuss and identify ways to incorporate reconciliation, decolonization, and equity practices into their board culture.
