Lasting Change through Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Training
We are at a critical and transformational cultural moment when it comes to issues of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Despite these positive advances, many solutions out there don’t meet the need for effective DEIB for a variety of reasons.
We understand that the tick-the-box approach that has garnered popularity doesn’t realistically challenge or educate learners on the nuances of DEIB issues and conversations. That’s why our DEIB training solutions are built to create lasting change.
DEIB Training that Challenges Learners
Learners often encounter training that doesn’t realistically challenge them to get out of their comfort zone. There’s no clear education that helps them distinguish between expected responses versus meaningful behavioral change. Our approach to DEIB training is designed to challenge existing behaviors and mindsets and trigger difficult conversations to address the real issues that often get brushed under the carpet.
Training that Solves DEI Fatigue
While the cultural moment we find ourselves in is increasingly urgent and ever evolving, tick-the-box, annual diversity training has left its mark on the workplace. Our solution moves away from this one and done approach to a continuous approach that reinforces lasting behavior change and evolves with the changing DEIB landscape.
DEIB Training vs. Social Conditioning
We’re hearing meaningful aspirations and insightful questions about what organizations hope to achieve, but traditional training doesn’t necessarily set them up to do so. A 30-minute training module alone cannot adequately address decades of social conditioning: it needs to be effectively and meaningfully tied to the context of larger, strategic goals, with leadership buy-in and modelling.
