Our DEI experts will work with you to design a curriculum that fosters meaningful conversations, equips participants with practical tools, and provides actionable strategies for immediate application. This foundational training is a core component of our diversity and inclusion training workshops, covering key concepts such as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in practice, power and privilege, and addressing unconscious bias. Additionally, it can incorporate elements from our specialized diversity training workshops, including anti-racism, conflict resolution, and navigating difficult conversations.

Creating an equitable workplace requires intentional action to support equity-deserving communities, remove systemic barriers, and drive meaningful organizational change. These sessions are part of our EDI workshops and provide insight into how different forms of discrimination manifest in the workplace, along with strategies to address them.

Topics can include:
Anti-Racism (e.g., Anti-Black Racism, Anti-Asian Hate, Anti-Indigenous Racism, Black History Month)
Gender Identity & Sexual Diversity (2SLGBTQ+ Inclusion)
Indigenous Truth and Reconciliation (e.g., Meaningful Land Acknowledgements)
Disability Inclusion & Workplace Accessibility
Religious Inclusion (e.g., Addressing Islamophobia, Anti-Semitism, and Religious Biases)

By cultivating inclusive leadership, organizations can inspire high-performing, engaged, and diverse teams.

Our Approach

We scale each workshop using a phased approach that supports your leadership team and fosters inclusive spaces. This ensures lasting impact across your organizational culture and helps create a more equitable workplace.

Phase 1

We can provide customized training to senior leaders, HR and Employee Resource Groups. We train this group first to show demonstrated leadership commitment and to prepare leaders to effectively respond to questions.

Phase II

We then provide training to all people leaders and provide them with a facilitation guide to debrief the training with their teams and discuss how to integrate the learnings into their daily work.

Phase III

We will then provide training to the remainder of the organization. We customize the content, examples, materials, and case studies to the different types of work to ensure it is relevant for all.

Change Management

On large-scale training projects, we also provide you with all communications and a customized change management plan to increase buy-in, transparency and sustainability.
