CLI – Integration into Work

Integrating what we’ve learned into our daily work is an essential part of the Collaborative Learning Initiative. To truly influence the culture of DEM and become a place where all team members feel that they can bring all of who they are as a meaningful, valued, and respected contributor to our individual and collective work, we must put to action what we’ve learned. Below are examples of how folks across DEM have implemented new inclusive policies or practices as a result of trainings they have participated in to highlight what we have accomplished. If you have a story to share about how you or your team have incorporated what you’ve learned into your daily work, share it with us at dem_support@em.wisc.edu.

Gender Decoder – Job Ad Bias Detector

Members of the Office of the Registrar have begun using the Gender Decoder to review job postings for gender-coded language and edited the language as warranted. Even with the Standard Job Description from TTC making more of the language consistent, this can still be useful for evaluating the “meta” text around posting and recruiting for jobs.
