- How racially, ethnically, religiously, or sexually diverse is the staff at your facility?
- What changes– increases or decreases in specific populations — have you observed in the workplace with patients and staff over time?
- If there has been an increase in diversity, what changes, if any, has your facility made to accommodate this diversity, such as diversity training, providing interpretation services, etc.?
- Describe an experience you have participated in, observed, or heard about in which cultural or other differences have caused problems for patients and/or staff.
- What factors came into play (such as stereotyping, prejudice, assumptions, etc.) and what was the outcome?
- Have your personal attitudes towards diversity changed over time? If so, how have they changed? If not, why?
- In your view, how well was this situation handled?
