EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Inclusivity, LLC conducted a follow-up to the Cultural Competence Assessment in 2020 that it originally developed for the Juvenile Welfare Board of Pinellas County (JWB) in 2018 for the years of 2015 – 2017. In doing so, some of the data issues in the original study were addressed by comparing JWB staff to the wider population of Pinellas County including the number of residents and the clients served. We also analyzed the data from a repeat of the organizational survey. Our analysis for this based upon best practices and only focuses on two areas that must be reported to the federal government which is race and gender. Other dimensions of diversity are vitally important but in the context of this report are not represented. During a more comprehensive report, those dimensions can be considered. Additionally, this report only focuses on comparing the demographic and survey data from the previous report hence there is a limit to the scope and context of the recommendations.

When reviewing this data, a point to consider is the current environment. The survey was administered during a period of time where anxiety is higher and communities are more emboldened to speak their minds. The COVID-19 pandemic, civil/social/racial unrest and the most recent political climate are factors that didn’t exist during the previous survey period.

The following are also cited specifically as they are existing conditions within JWB. JWB is in a female prevalent industry that tends towards having more women in the overall workforce at all levels. JWB has a tenured work force which limits the number of new hires and promotions. Last, JWB is considered quasi-government meaning they are subject to Florida stature (limited to no flexibility), Board of Directors mandates (Potential flexibility) and internal policies practices and procedures (most flexibility). A “we’re government” belief tends towards inflexibility that can limit creativity and innovation.

The main findings of this follow-up study include: • The diversity of JWB staff in terms of ethnicity and race is increasing as it relates to Hispanic/Latinx and non-White staff.

• There is a lack of diversity at the Executive/Senior Level, where 100% of the staff is White. In addition, JWB is predominantly female with 85% of its staff being women.

• The third level of JWB staff is the most diverse. This indicates that JWB is building a pipeline of diverse candidates for promotion from its third level into the higher levels.

• The percentage of Hispanic/Latinx JWB staff is below the percentage of persons who are Hispanic or Latinx in the Pinellas County population. This is significantly below the percentage of children ages 14 years and under in Pinellas County.

• J WB staff is more diverse than the general population of Pinellas County in terms of race of persons who are not Hispanic/Latinx but not as diverse as the population of children ages 14 years and under in Pinellas County.

• The organizational survey continues to show that JWB’s workforce remains strongly committed to diversity and inclusiveness both as far as their personal behavior and attitudes are concerned, and as far as the mission and objectives of the organization are concerned.

• H owever, compared to 2018, there were noticeable increases in the percentage of staff disagreeing or strongly disagreeing with the following statements: ○ JWB’s staff and leadership reflects the demographics of the people it serves

- An increase of 18% ○ JWB’s employees represent a diverse workforce at all levels

- An increase of 14% ○ JWB is committed to retaining and developing its employees

- An increase of 12% The first two concerns are shared by management and by (at least some) staff.

• C ompared to 2018, there are also significant drops in the percentage of staff agreeing with the following statements, although in both cases the shift was to neither agree or disagree, rather than a shift to disagree or strongly disagree.

○ JWB‘s executive leadership management team is committed to advancing equity principles in the organization - A drop of 15%

○ JWB’s practices enable the success and promotion of individuals from all racial/ethnic groups, socio-economic backgrounds and genders - A drop of 30%

○ JWB’s culture supports and encourages change - A drop of 12%

DEFINITIONS

The Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) reports JWB has staff in the following categories: 1. Executive/Senior Level Officials and Managers 2. First/Mid-Level Officials and Managers 3. Professionals 4. Technicians, and 5. Administrative Support Workers.

For a number of reasons, we will refer to the first two categories as Executive/ Senior Level Staff & First/Mid-Level Staff respectively.

Other common terms that define different types of businesses are: EEO – E qual Employment Opportunity MBE – M inority Business enterprise is a business that is 51% owned by a racial minority WBE – Women owned business is a business that is 51% owned by a woman.

DEMOGRAPHICS

JWB appears to be moving in the right direc;on when it comes to ethnic and racial diversity of its sta As the following graphs show, the percentage of Hispanic staff has grown from a low of 5.45% in 201 (3 out of 55 total staff) to a high of 7.94% in 2019 (5 out of 63 total staff). At the same ;me, the percentage of Non-Hispanic/La;nx White staff has declined from 80.75% in 2015 (42 out of 52 NonHispanic/La;nx Staff) to 77.59% in 2019 (45 out of 58 Non-Hispanic/La;nx Staff). Note, the percenta of Hispanic/La;nx staff is s;ll rela;vely low, while the percentage of Whites remains rela;vely high.

SEPARATIONS

There were 14 separations between 2017 and 2019. All but 1 separation were either retirements or voluntary resignations. There are no noticeable trends in increases in the numbers of separations of nonminority candidates. The 78.57% of separations over the 2017-2019 (11 out of 14) period were of White JWB staff, in line with the percentage of such staff in the total JWB client population. Two (2) were African American, and 1 was Asian. So, 21.42% of people who left the organization are Non-White or Hispanic/ Latinx, slightly lower than the overall percentage of these groups among staff (28.56%).

LACK OF DIVERSIT Y AT THE EXECUTIVE/SENIOR LEVEL OFFICIALS AND MANAGERS There is a lack of diversity at the Executive/Senior Level Staff. Based on the assessment, several hypotheses can be made whether this is due to a lack of opportunities for promotion for Hispanic/Latinx or Non-White candidates, due to the fact that such candidates are leaving the organization at a higher rate, or due to some other factor(s).

The data on separations allows us to rule out the explanation that the lack of diversity at the Executive Senior Staff Level is due to Hispanic/Latinx or Non-White leaving the organization at a higher rate. As we saw in the section on separations, Hispanic/Latinx or Non-White staff leave the organization slightly below the rate one would expect given their percentage among staff in general. Moreover, none of the Hispanic/Latinx or Non-White staff who left were Executive/Senior Level Staff or First / Mid-Level Staff.

The data on promotions also allows us to rule out the explanation that the lack of diversity is due to the fact that the organization does not promote candidates who are Hispanic/Latinx or Non-White. Of the 17 people promoted between 2017 and 2019, 12 were White (70.59%), more or less in line with the percentage of Whites among the staff. However, the 2 promotions that mention Executive/Senior Level Staff in the job category were White candidates (both occurred in 2017). Moreover, 1 person at this level retired over the period in question, and 2 candidates were hired at this level. All were Non-Hispanic/ Latinx Whites.

If we assume that the promotion to the Executive/Senior Level Staff will come within the First/Mid-Level Staff, it makes sense to look at diversity at that level. Of the 10 staff at this level in 2019, 7 were White, and 3 were Hispanic/Latinx. In other words, while there is some ethnic diversity at that level, there is no racial diversity. Moreover, while there were no hires at this level over the period in question, there was 1 promotion. The promoted person was Non-Hispanic/Latinx White.

Looking one level down (Professionals), the diversity picture looks better. Of the 34 staff at this level in 2019, 22 (64.71%) were White and hence 12 (35.29%) Hispanic/Latinx or Non-White. Moreover, the hires at this level were relatively diverse set of hires at this level. Five (5) out of the 13 new hires or 38.46% are Hispanic/ Latinx or Non-White.

The picture that emerges is that the improvement in diversity that we observed is not at the most Executive/ Senior Official level, or the level below that. However, the organization seems to be building a more diverse pipeline of candidates at the third level in the organization

Since the Census Bureau has not yet published its estimates for 2019, we could only use the 2018 and 2017 data1.

Since we use the Census for information about the general population, we present 2 comparisons, namely one based on ethnicity and one based on the racial make-up of the non-Hispanic or Latinx population.

COMPARISON BASED ON ETHNICIT Y The graphs below show the percentage of persons who are Hispanic or Latinx in the two populations.

They show that the percentage of Hispanic or Latinx JWB staff is below the general population in Pinellas County. Around 10.00% of the Pinellas County population is Hispanic or Latinx, whereas only 7.94% of JWB staff fall in this category.

ORGANIZATIONAL SURVEY The organizational survey was completed by 49 JWB Pinellas Employees. The results are displayed in the appendix. In addition to the result for the entire group of respondents, we also report the results for the management team (CEO, Executive Team, and Managers) and the Staff. This will allow us to determine whether there were significant differences between the management team on the one hand and the staff on the other. Finally, we compared the results to the results of a similar survey in 2018, which had a similar number of responses overall but was not broken down by level. In both cases the survey was completely anonymous.

INTERNAL CULTURE OF JWB

Overall, 35% of the respondents believe (i.e., agree or strongly agree) that the JWB’s staff and leadership reflects the demographics of the people it serves, whereas 43% of the respondents believe it does not (i.e., disagree or strongly disagree). Moreover, there is a significant difference between the management team (46% agree or strongly agree, and 38% disagree or strongly disagree) and the staff (30% agree or strongly agree, and 45% agree or strongly disagree). Moreover, some of the comments of those who disagree, both from the management team and the staff, single out the management team as not being reflective of the demographics of the population JWB serves.

The responses to the first question are noticeably different from the responses in 2018. At that time, 67% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the JWB’s staff and leadership reflects the demographics of the people it serves, whereas only 25% disagreed or disagreed.

There is also a significant difference between the current results and the 2018 results when it comes to the statement “JWB’s employees represent a diverse workforce at all levels”. At the moment, 28% of respondents agree or strongly agree, and 43% disagree or strongly disagree. There are again differences between the management team (23% agree or strongly agree, 54% disagree or strongly disagree) and the staff (22% agree or strongly agree, 38% disagree or strongly disagree). And, again, the written comments single out the management team.

INTERNAL CULTURE OF JWB

In 2018, the results were strikingly different, with 62.5% agreeing or strongly agreeing that JWB’s employees represent a diverse workforce at all levels, and 29% disagreeing.

There is broad agreement between the management team and the staff on the other questions in the section on the Internal Culture of JWB, namely • JWB has an established commitment to a diverse workforce.

- 75% agree or strongly agree; 6% disagree or strongly disagree.

• JWB values everyone’s input at all levels.

- 73% agree of strongly agree; 20% disagree or strongly disagree • JWB promotes a core set of values to enhance equity.

- 77% agree or strongly agree; 10% disagree or strongly disagree.

• JWB attempts to reduce bias in the workplace (Ex. training, team building).

- 82% agree or strongly agree; 6% disagree or strongly disagree.

It is also noticeable that 6 of the 36 staff members disagreed or strongly disagreed with at least 3 items in the list.

There were no noticeable differences between the 2018 and the current results on the last four questions in this section.

LEADERSHIP COMMITMENT There was broad agreement that JWB‘s executive leadership management team is committed to advancing equity principles in the organization (73% agreed or strongly agreed, 4% disagreed, and 23% either neither agreeing or disagreeing or not knowing). There were no noticeable differences between the management team and staff. There is a similar broad agreement that JWB’s practices enable the success and promotion of individuals from all racial/ethnic groups, socio-economic backgrounds and genders (60% agree or strongly agree, 6% disagree or strongly disagree, with 34% neither agreeing or disagreeing, or not knowing). Again, there were no noticeable differences between the management team and staff.

The percentage of respondents who agree or strongly agree with the two statements is down from the 2018 results. At that stage, 87.5% agree or strongly agreed with the statement that JWB‘s executive leadership management team is committed to advancing equity principles in the organization, and 6% disagreed or strongly disagreed, and 90% agreed or strongly agreed that JWB’s practices enable the success and promotion of individuals from all racial/ethnic groups, socio-economic backgrounds and genders, and 9% disagreed or strongly disagreed.

PROGRAMMATIC AWARENESS

In general, the respondents agree or strongly agree with the four items in the Programmatic Awareness Section, and there were no noticeable differences between the management team and the staff • J WB leverages the perspectives (i.e. Wisdom) of the community when making decisions that impact the community (68% agree or strongly agree; 16% disagree or strongly disagree).

• P roviders have access to the information and materials they need to successfully navigate the process (54% agree or strongly agree; 6% disagree or strongly disagree).

• J WB attempts to reduce bias held of the providers we fund (Ex. Technical assistance and/or customer service training) (61% agree or strongly agree; 12% disagree or strongly disagree).

• I nformation and materials are available in multiple languages (67% agree or strongly agree; 10% disagree or strongly disagree).

A fairly large number of staff reporting not knowing, and some commented that this was because this did not work for example in departments that interfaced with providers.

Finally, a number of respondents noted that, while the JWB information and materials are available in English and Spanish, it is not available in any other languages, which poses the risk that JWB’s services are not available to fairly large populations of speakers of other languages (Vietnamese was mentioned a few times).

Again, the percentage of respondents agreeing or strongly disagreeing were down from the percentages in 2018. The 2018 results were as follows: • J WB leverages the perspectives (i.e. Wisdom) of the community when making decisions that impact the community (75% agree or strongly agree; 10% disagree or strongly disagree).

• P roviders have access to the information and materials they need to successfully navigate the process (75% agree or strongly agree; 0% disagree or strongly disagree).

• J WB attempts to reduce bias held of the providers we fund (Ex. Technical assistance and/or customer service training) (76% agree or strongly agree; 1% disagrees or strongly disagrees).

• I nformation and materials are available in multiple languages (67% agree or strongly agree; 7% disagree or strongly disagree).

17

BUSINESS CASE FOR DIVERSIT Y

Overall, the respondents were strongly convinced of the business case for diversity and again there were no noticeable differences between the management team and the staff. Thus • Diversity is vital to JWB’s success (94% agree or strongly agree; 0% disagree) • J WB’s funding and/or services reach a diverse provider base (81% agree or strongly agree; 2% disagree).

• J WB’s culture supports and encourages change (65% agree or strongly agree; 12% disagree or strongly disagree).

• J WB is committed to retaining and developing its employees (69% agree or strongly agree; 12% disagree or strongly disagree).

Perhaps not surprisingly, 4 of the 6 staff members who disagreed with 3 or more of the statements in the Internal Culture of JWB section disagreed with at least one of the statements in this section.

The responded on the 2018 survey are not noticeably different for the first two questions, but there are significant differences in the responses to the last two. In 2016, 77% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed, and 8% disagreed or strongly disagreed with the statement that JWB’s culture supports and encourages change, and 95% agreed or strongly agreed with the statement that JWB is committed to retaining and developing its employees, and 0% disagreed.

PERSONAL AWARENESS There was again a high degree of agreement between the management team and the staff on most item in the personal awareness section of the survey, and the picture that emerges is one of a workforce that is highly committed to diversity and inclusiveness. For example, none of the respondents disagreed with the following statements: • I t is important to me to work for an organization that emphasizes getting to know people from different backgrounds. and none of the respondents agreed with the statements • I t is really hard for me to feel close to a person from another culture • Getting to know someone from another race is generally uncomfortable experience for me.

• I enjoy working with communities whose cultures are different from my own.

• People in poverty are often there because they make poor decisions.

The results in 2018 were similar.

CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS

When reviewing this data, a point to consider is the current environment. The survey was administered during a period of time where anxiety is higher and communities are more emboldened to speak their minds. The COVID-19 pandemic, civil/social/racial unrest and the most recent political climate are factors that didn’t exist during the previous survey period.

Compared to the situation in 2018, JWB appears to have become more diverse. However, the diversity does not extend to the executive level, which remains 100% Non-Hispanic/Latinx White. Also, while the ethnic and racial composition of the JWB staff more or less reflects the ethnic and racial composition of the general population in Pinellas County, the population of children ages 14 years and under is considerably more diverse than JWB staff. The percentage of Hispanic/Latinx children ages 14 years and under is twice as high as the percentage of Hispanic/Latinx JWB staff. As far as race is concerned, the main discrepancy concerns people of two or more races of which 9.21% of Pinellas County children ages 14 years and under are two or more races against 0% of JWB staff.

The survey results seem to indicate that, while JWB’s workforce remains strongly committed to diversity and inclusiveness both as far as their personal behavior and attitudes are concerned, and as far as the mission and objectives of the organization are concerned, compared to 2018, there is a growing concern about the lack of diversity at the managerial level in the organization. Interestingly, this concern seems to be shared by the management team and (some of) the staff.

We recommend that the CEO and Executive Team address this concern. In the longer term, the best way to address the concern is to increase diversity, both in terms of race and ethnicity and in terms of gender, in the management team. In the short term, one way to address the concern might be to develop a plan to increase the diversity in the hires at the management level and to widely share the plan with the JWB workforce.

Compared to 2018, there is also a slight increase in the percentage of respondents who do not agree that JWB‘s executive leadership management team is committed to advancing equity principles in the organization, or that JWB’s practices enable the success and promotion of individuals from all racial/ethnic groups, socio-economic backgrounds and genders. Similarly, there is a slight drop in the percentage of respondents who believe that JWB’s culture supports and encourages change, and a significant drop in the percentage of respondents who agree that JWB is committed to retaining and developing its employees.

The raw data suggest that these changes are due to a relatively small number of staff (6 to be precise). We believe that it is important for the Executive Team to seek out these staff members and have a more in-depth discussion with them about their concerns.

REVIEW OF PREVIOUS RECOMMENDATIONS This section is an abbreviated version of the detailed recommendations from the benchmark assessment completed in 2018. These recommendations are still relevant and the ones in bold are actively in process.

19

JWB PINELL AS INCLUDES (DIVERSIT Y, EQUIT Y & INCLUSION) Recommendations Develop the following as part of an overall strategy: • Executive coaching – Monthly one on one conversations with the CEO about the individual and organizational evolution along the cultural competence continuum. Also, a place to discuss a variety of issues as they arise.

• Senior team coaching – Similar to the CEO but involves all the CEO’s direct reports.

• Complete cultural competence learning curriculum – Involves organization wide and specific leadership workshops: Organization-wide Inclusion Inclusion Begins with I • This workshop is focused on the individual perspective and what personal experiences shaped that perspective creating our own cultural bias. Cultural Cultural Competence: A Business Case • Focuses on why cultural competence is so important to our society and how it drives innovation and community impact. Generations Generations in the Workplace • Describes the characteristics and tendencies of each generation and how to work better together. Blind Blind spots: Unconscious Bias • Considers the first node of the cultural competence continuum and how to identify these tendencies understanding that we all have bias. It also provides tools to work through the bias and evolve along the continuum. II can’t talk about that: Courageous Conversations • Creates the context by which difficult or uncomfortable conversations can occur to open more opportunities for collaboration, productivity and innovation.

Leadership Track Cultural Cultural Competence: High Performing Teams This is a leader workshop to support the retention and development process when leading a team that comprises multiple dimensions of diversity. Inclusive Inclusive Recruitment This leadership workshop discusses bias in the recruitment process, how to recognize it and to take steps to mitigate it.

• Drive daily DEI engagement through a re-boot of the personnel and diversity committee (PDC) •E nsure talent development via diversity at all levels of the organization especially at the top • Develop Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure the progress •D efine the value of diversity and develop a definitive plan for creating diversity based upon internal benchmarks • Cultural competence outcomes cascade to funded agencies • Begin to track and consistently monitor: -M BEs (Minority-Owned Business Enterprises), WBEs (Women Owned Business Enterprises), Veteran owned businesses - Minority led funded agencies/providers • Create a space for Cultural Competence to be included in the Strategic Plan J W B C U LT U R A L C O M P E T E N C E M I N I A S S E S S M E N T
