ODE Guiding Frameworks and Definitions

Frameworks

There are two frameworks guiding this work:

The Global Diversity Equity Inclusion Benchmark Model and the Government Alliance on Race and Equity’s (GARE) Racial Equity Analysis.

The Global Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Benchmarks (GDEIB)

Created by The Centre for Global Inclusion, the GDEIB are standards for organizations around the world. It "provides a means of measurement, a strategic planning tool, and a set of actions that may be taken at an organizational and individual level, to do good diversity work."

The full document is available to download for free on The Centre for Global Inclusion site.

The Government Alliance on Race and Equity’s (GARE) Racial Equity Analysis

GARE's Racial Equity Analysis embeds results-based measures in decision making within local governments for racial equitable outcomes. This strategic direction helped guide the five-year Race & Gender Equity Action Plan (2020-2025).

Learn more about the Government Alliance on Race and Equity.

Definitions

Several key definitions help guide this work:

Diversity

Each person has layers of diversity that make his/her/their perspective unique. The City of Sacramento defines diversity as the variety of human differences and similarities among people, such as: age, belief system, class/caste, culture, disability, education, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, generation, geography, job role and function, language, marital status, mental health, nationality, native or indigenous origins, parental status, personality type, race, religion, sexual orientation, thinking style, work experience, and work style.

Adopted from the Global Diversity Equity Inclusion Benchmark model

Inclusion

This is an active state of being valued, respected, and supported. Inclusion focuses on the needs of every individual and ensures the right conditions are in place for each person to achieve their full potential. Inclusion should be reflected in an organization’s culture, practices, and relationships, which are in place to support a diverse workforce. The City of Sacramento’s definition of inclusion draws from the Global Diversity & Inclusion Benchmark model, which defines the word as a dynamic state of operating in which diversity is leveraged to create a fair, healthy, and high-performing organization and/or community.

An inclusive environment ensures equitable access to resources and opportunities for all. It also enables individuals and groups to feel safe, respected, engaged, motivated, and valued for who they are and for their contributions toward organizational and societal goals.

Adopted from the Global Diversity Equity Inclusion Benchmark model

Equity

The City of Sacramento’s definition of racial equity is adapted from the Government Alliance on Race and Equity’s definition. Regardless of one’s identity, equity is when all people have just treatment, access to opportunities necessary to satisfy their essential needs, advance their well-being, and achieve their full potential while identifying and eliminating barriers that have prevented the full participation of some groups.

Adapted from the Government Alliance on Race & Equity definition of racial equality
