Catholic Charities is committed to fostering workplaces and communities where every person is recognized as possessing inherent God-given dignity and where all are treated with equal respect and afforded the opportunity to flourish. Through ongoing learning, dialogue, and shared discernment among representatives of our member agencies, Catholic Charities staff, and board members, we seek to strengthen a culture in which every person is valued, differences are received as gifts, and our organizations more faithfully reflect the Gospel call to love our neighbour and serve the common good. Guided by the Catholic principles of human dignity, equality, and solidarity, we seek to ensure that every person is treated with equal respect, that opportunities are offered fairly and justly, and that those who face barriers receive the support they need to participate fully in the life and mission of our organizations.

While no single assessment provides a complete picture, many people find it a helpful starting point for examining their own assumptions and continuing their journey of personal growth. The assessment takes approximately 8–10 minutes to complete. https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/user/agg/blindspot/indexrk.htm
