Assessment
How Do You Know Whether Your Policy Is Inclusive?
Many people assume financial policies are neutral—designed without recognizing the specific barriers, endowments, or capabilities of different segments of society. While they may not intend to exclude, policies and other tools, such as digital technology, that aim to reach all people may unintentionally exclude individuals based on gender, age, disability, race, or country of origin.
I hope you’ve found this site because your organization is interested in becoming more inclusive in addressing the needs of underrepresented people and communities. How do you know if the policies you support or the initiatives you spearhead reach their intended inclusion goals? I’ve found that achieving inclusion goals requires common principles and ways of working.
This assessment should help your organization begin the conversation on inclusive change. Please rank your policy’s inclusiveness on a scale of one to five. After you submit your responses, I’ll email you some initial insights.
