HIV/AIDS & Employment ePolicyWorks eWorkgroup

Tracking Tool and Participant Survey Form

Introduction

HIV/AIDS & Employment eWorkgroup members are highly encouraged to track their efforts to improve employment opportunities and outcomes and reducing stigma and discrimination for people living with HIV/AIDS that either arise from or are enhanced by their participation/collaboration in the HIV/AIDS & Employment eWorkgroup. Examples of efforts may include policy development, partnerships, effective practices, technical assistance, outreach and research. ODEP is also interested in receiving feedback on how the HIV/AIDS & Employment eWorkgroup can improve. Thus, on a monthly basis, ODEP will ask each participant to fill out a 1) tracking tool input form and 2) participant survey form detailed below. The tracking tool input form will be accessible by ePolicyWorks members through the online workspace and the participant survey will be distributed using a third-party tool in order to preserve anonymity. Information gathered from participations about new and enhanced HIV/AIDS employment activities will be made available to eWorkgroup members so that they may learn from others’ experiences. Feedback gathered from participants from the “participant survey” will be taken into consideration to improve the overall eWorkgroup experience.
