Equity is achieved when one’s group identification doesn’t affect their life outcome.
At Nurse Recruitment Experts, we recognize our power to help underrepresented groups advance their careers. We help clients promote service equity and health equity among their local populations.
Our approach employs six “equity levers” to ensure we help your care be more equitable:
Equity Lever 1: Engaging Communities
- Formally commit to advancing equity in all project aspects.
- Respect and incorporate diverse cultural values, traditions, and languages
- Help clients engage underserved community members, including students, families, educators, and community leaders.
- Establish regular feedback loops through surveys and community meetings, adjusting services based on this input.
- Maintain open and transparent communication with all stakeholders about service changes, improvements, and outcomes.
Equity Lever 2: Data and Evidence-Based Practices
- Empower individuals to make informed decisions about their education and career paths.
- Ensure our data collection methods will be accessible and unbiased, offering multiple formats for engagement.
- Regularly monitor and evaluate services to assess their equity impact, making data-driven improvements as needed.
- Collaborate with other agencies to share best practices and improve data collection methods.
Equity Lever 3: Developing Champions
- Identify and develop equity champions within our organization, drawing on their lived experiences and expertise.
- Provide ongoing training on cultural competence and equity to our team.
- Foster a deeper understanding of different cultural perspectives through dedicated resources and discussions.
Equity Lever 4: Directing Investments and Resources
- Prioritize equity in budget decisions, directing resources towards programs that benefit underserved communities.
- Employ a representative workforce, focusing on individuals with relevant lived experiences.
- Set standards for suppliers to promote equity and align with our mission.
Equity Lever 5: Customizing Services for Individuals and Communities
- Ensure services are accessible, user-friendly, and available in multiple languages, including translation services.
- Conduct cultural competency training and employ advisors from diverse communities.
- Tailor services based on client feedback and cultural lessons learned.
Equity Lever 6: Creating Dialogue
- Offer internal programs on cultural competence and implicit bias.
