DEI Training

Diversity training (also known as DEI training) gives your employees, teams, and managers the tools to actively promote an inclusive culture in their everyday work and become diversity leaders. Diversity training can take several forms and can lead to a diversity certificate. Includia Leadership offers various types of diversity and inclusion trainings, from e-learning modules that can be completed at your own pace, to a facilitated conversational workshop, and even theme- or topic-specific trainings that cater to your organization’s needs.

DEI training increases awareness and knowledge of diversity, and also encourages the development of skills to foster diversity and inclusion in the workplace and create a respectful work environment. It typically covers topics such as unconscious biases, cultural differences, microaggressions, and effective communication across diverse populations.

Includia offers various types of trainings, from online DEI training to interactive on-site diversity training, as well as workshops and keynotes that are customised for different audiences. Includia’s trainings are tailored to our customers' unique needs. We take into account the customer’s field, the current status of D&I work, and the organisation’s goals when planning our training sessions. We work with a wide range of audiences and topics, from top leadership to different employee groups.

Diversity training is important because it helps create a respectful and inclusive workplace environment where everyone is valued and accepted regardless of their differences. DEI training also helps employees better understand the different cultures and backgrounds of their colleagues, encourages positive collaboration and open dialogue around topics such as gender diversity, inclusive culture, allyship, sense of belonging, and psychological safety . Additionally, diversity training can help employees deepen and develop skills such as effective communication and problem-solving, which can have a positive and lasting impact on workplace productivity. Our vision is that after a DEI training with us, participants will have new tools and new ideas, and that they will feel energised and inspired to act positively within their work community.

Diversity training in the workplace is a type of training that helps employees learn how to respect and work with people of different backgrounds, cultures, and experiences. It is commonly used to support diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

An example of diversity training is a workshop that educates employees about DEI themes in general, such as acknowledging different cultures, gender identities, and sexual orientations in order to promote an environment of inclusivity. On the same workshop sessions, for example, we could also discuss topics related to intervening in difficult situations at work, being an ally to various minorities, and recognising microaggressions at one’s speech.

Diversity training in its various forms, whether online, on-site, e-learning, etc., is the X factor in efficient and modern organisational management. Organisations and companies are now well-informed about the benefits that an inclusive culture brings to the workplace. Topics like allyship, pay equality, and psychological safety reinforce the sense of belonging in a work community, attract new talent, and influence better productivity and creativity. Thanks to years of research that is driving DEI training organisations, employees worldwide are developing a better understanding of how to interact with one another and celebrate the different backgrounds of their colleagues.
