Excerpt

Since 2022, the Heldrich Center has explored workers’ perceptions of and experiences with racial and ethnic discrimination at work and opinions of diversity, equity, and inclusion policies and practices. The study included a survey using a comprehensive, national probability-based sample of 3,277 full- and part-time U.S. workers and 20 in-depth, one-on-one interviews with workers to explore the nuances of the issues raised in the survey. This policy brief summarizes two approaches in which the project findings may be used by policymakers, researchers, employers, and workers for their own research needs:

Using the semi-structured interview protocols and selected findings to provide context to survey questions and inform future research efforts.
Using the study’s quantitative survey data, archived for public use, to encourage further substantive and methodological research.

Additional Heldrich Center survey data dating back to 1998 are also available for public use.

Tagline

New brief summarizes how policymakers, researchers, employers, and workers can utilize recent Heldrich Center survey findings for their own research needs.

Excerpt

In October 2019, the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development asked the Heldrich Center for Workforce Development to conduct a study on these paid leave policies in New Jersey. The Heldrich Center partnered with the Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations’ Center for Women and Work to support data collection and analysis. This study was designed to provide information to inform the implementation, outreach, and consumer/industry education for these three programs. The study was conducted in two phases: interviews with workers and advocates on earned sick leave, and repeated public opinion polling on all three programs. This report presents findings and recommendations from 29 interviews with workers and advocates and focused solely on New Jersey’s newly expanded paid earned sick leave law.
