Diverse voices lead to better
decisions and outcomes
The diversity of voices in our communities can shape innovative, future-focused solutions for today’s biggest challenges. However, not everyone is always given a seat at the table.
Almost 40% of the community engagement experts in our 2022 Industry Pulse Check strongly agreed that inclusive engagement is understood in their organization. While only 18% strongly agreed that their current community engagement strategies are inclusive.
If you want to spark change, it’s important that everyone in your organization has a common understanding of what it means to be inclusive.
At times, we can unintentionally exclude people due to a lack of awareness of the barriers that may prevent them from participating.
Knowledge sharing is the best way to improve our practice. Discover how PRR inclusively engaged a diverse community impacted by a transit-orientated development project.
