Why Consider DEI Training?
DEI Training is designed to increase understanding and appreciation for DEI in the workplace. DEI training in the workplace should be considered for the following reasons:
- Increases awareness and understanding of different cultures
- Encourages civility and respect for others
- Promotes inclusion, belonging, and equal treatment for all employees
- Reduces harassment, discrimination, and bias in the workplace and beyond
DEI training has become increasingly essential to a healthy workplace culture and should not be seen as something to “fix” or a separate organizational strategic initiative. It helps to create inclusion, belonging, and equity in the workplace. DEI training enhances organizational culture and strategically positions organizations for better business outcomes.
