Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion 101

Interested in reaping the benefits of a diverse workplace, but not sure where to start? We recommend taking our flagship workshop. Walk away with an enhanced understanding of what we mean by diversity, equity, and inclusion along with practical tools for starting out.

Communicating for Equity

Weak communication practices lead to weak results. This training teaches leaders and staff to strengthen their communication practices to impact decision-making, relationship-building, and overall workplace culture. Drawing from Fernando Flores’ Speech Acts Theory, among other leading research in the field, this training enables stakeholders at any level to communicate honestly, effectively, and with resilience. These skills construct a necessary foundation for equity in any organization.

Values in Action

Transformation happens in action, not in theory. This training uses a deconstructive approach to teach leaders how to examine their actions in light of their values. Walk away with practical tools and action-steps for making your workplace environment a welcoming space for diversity.

Dismantling Unconscious Bias

Despite our best intentions, all of us operate according to unconscious biases. We all have them and, though we don’t realize it, they shape the way we make decisions. This training helps leadership teams uncover their own biases in order to make their actions, decisions, and behaviors conscious and aware. This training is a necessary step toward achieving an equitable workplace.

Similarity-Attraction Effect

Innovation happens in a diverse workforce, but how to create a diverse workforce in the first place? This training is for people in leadership positions who want to grow more comfortable working with, listening to, and being influenced by people unlike themselves.

Gender Equity

Despite substantial progress, women still face unique obstacles to advancement in the workforce. To this day, men are 3-4 times more likely to be promoted to leadership roles, and 25% more likely to receive negotiated pay increases. Fully 64% of women have been discriminated against at work.

On the flip side, companies that prioritize gender equity are 15%-20% more profitable.

This training is for men and women who want to learn about the many subtle ways that women are sabotaged at work- from meeting formats to the thermostat. Learn how to enhance gender equity and discover the actions you can take to make sure everyone has a voice.
