NECA Requests your participation in the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging Survey. |
In July 2020, NECA and the IBEW reaffirmed its commitment to facilitating growth in the electrical construction industry with a focus on a culture that embraces diversity, equity and inclusion as an integral factor for ensuring the future of the industry.
In September 2020, NECA formed their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force with a goal of empowering a cultural shift in diversity, equity and inclusion through education, opportunity, awareness and open dialogue by developing an awareness and education platform to foster a work environment within the electrical industry that supports each person’s unique differences. The Task Force will strive to create a long-term cultural shift, on national and local levels, where each person can thrive and be empowered to contribute to the overall success of our industry.
In order to understand where the electrical construction industry is going and where it needs to be, the first step is understanding where we are at, as an organization. NECA is asking your participation in this important survey. As industry leaders, participating in this survey will give NECA the ability to collect critical data and act on it.
Of course, your participation in these survey is completely voluntary and all of your responses will be kept confidential. No personal information will be associated with your responses.
The deadline to complete this survey is April 1, 2022.
