The survey collected voluntarily disclosed information about TeamUHN’s social identity such as gender, race, social class, age, ability, religion, sexual orientation, and geographic location and the privilege or marginalization that come with them. The survey measured social identity based on the dimensions of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility and Anti-racism, Covid-19 Connectedness and overall Engagement.
Timeline
Governance Strucure
Since 2019, the office of IDEAA, led by Jacqueline Silvera, has been developing models of equitable governance that observe EGAP and OCAP principles.
In 2021, the IDEAA team developed a 5-level governance model that looks to:
- Directly implement feedback, insight and guidance from frontline staff and people leaders at UHN to the overall survey strategy
- Opposes the “extraction” of information from equity-seeking communities by involving them as advisors, reviewers and ambassadors of the next steps
- Brings information from the larger UHN community, including users, directly to decision-makers and executive leadership

The Governance structure: The Governance structure is in the shape of a triangle, where Escalation occurs from the bottom to the top, and Implementation occurs from the top to the bottom. The levels of the governance model are as follows from bottom to top.
