Ran out of time during the conversation to discuss this with Airis, so passing along more information regarding \\u201cIdentity Insights\\u201d, the Federal Government\\u2019s first intersectional approach to examine employee experience, recently highlighted in Chief Human Capital Officers Council\\u2019s 2022 Federal Workforce Priorities Report (2022 Federal Workforce Priorities Report (chcoc.gov)):

Identity Insights

In 2021, VEO\'s Employee Experience & Organizational Management (EXOM) Directorate, in partnership with the Office of Resolution Management, Diversity & Inclusion (ORMDI), launched Identity Insights, the federal government\'s first intersectional approach to examine employee experience (EX). Focused on identifying pain points that employees attribute to one or more of the identities that they hold, the pilot phase engaged employees across eight identity groups that have been either historically underrepresented and/or faced discrimination and bias in the workplace: American Indian and Alaska Native, Asian American and Pacific Islander, Black/African American, Hispanic, Individuals Born between 1946 and 1964, Individuals with Disabilities, LGBTQ+, and Women. By capturing quantitative data to explore the role that identity plays in EX, Identity Insights is a pivotal step forward to driving meaningful change rooted in data from our workforce.
