Organizational planning identifies an organization’s immediate needs pertaining to anti-oppression and equity work, and lays out the goals, objectives, and timeline necessary to maintain a meaningful anti-oppression and equity practice.

The planning process is individualized to the organization, and is meant to produce a series of accessible, achievable actions toward accomplishing anti-oppression and equity goals.

Assessments

A collaborative examination of an organization’s anti-oppression and equity practices. This can include an analysis of an organization’s strengths, how well it recognizes and uses relevant resources, gaps in information, and needed changes.  Assessments may include online surveys, individual interviews, and/or focus groups with employees, the Board, clients/participants, community members, and/or fellow organizations.  Assessments may also include a review of organizational policies and procedures (i.e. supervision practices, pay and benefit scales, etc.).

Assessments provide organizations with the basis to implement an anti-oppression and equity plan, and improve its practices.
