Beyond Sensitivity and Awareness:  Benefits

What are the benefits of diversity, equity and inclusion training?

  • Improved communication: When communication improves, performance naturally improves.  Enhancing communication related to diversity topics helps build an inclusive environment and welcoming workplace for staff and leadership.
  • Elevated employee authenticity : When employees are included and valued, they will likely feel more comfortable being their authentic selves where they can be happier and thrive at work.
  • Enhanced employee and group performance : When diversity is valued by an organization and its leadership, employees and managers develop stronger mutual respect and a renewed vision in their ability to work cohesively.
  • Higher employee retention rates
  • Reduced human resource occurrences, EEOC incidences, charges, and discrimination lawsuits
  • Improved diversity hiring and employee recruitment
  • Increased workplace team innovation

Experienced Diversity Trainers

Diversity Builder’s trainers have diverse cultural, educational, and professional backgrounds that yield valuable perspectives and contribute to our organization’s ability to build inventive training programs that produce deep-rooted and measurable results. Many hold advanced degrees and certifications.

Diversity Builder’s trainers and consultants have worked with various clients in the areas of diversity, inclusion, multicultural awareness, change management, cross-cultural communication, collaboration, and team development. Our experience in these areas includes numerous group facilitations with publicly traded companies, financial institutions, government entities, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations.

Meet our Diversity Trainers

Diversity Builder trainers have been instrumental in developing specialized workplace bystander intervention training for organizations. One of Diversity Builder’s trainers helped develop a bystander program used on public transportation in Poland. The trainers are strong curriculum developers and have designed engaging learner-led programs in generational diversity and in gender identity and expression.

The Diversity Builder Difference: Active Experiential Learning

Diversity Builder uses an experiential training facilitation and blended learn approach that is highly effective. Unlike lecture-driven training courses, our curriculum is delivered using adult learning principles. We believe workplace training is best received if it is conversational and engaging. Our trainers are consistent in their training and use tools such as group case study, role playing, and other learning activities. The critical source for learning resides in the adults and their personal connections to the topics.

Post Training Support

Diversity Builder provides post-training support to our clients. It is our belief that integrating diversity extends beyond the initial training sessions. We offer tools, resources, and support to participants and management. Incorporating diversity workshops, inclusive policies, one-on-one sessions, and other strategies help companies develop a thriving diverse workplace. Our trainers and consultants are available to answer questions from staff or management, as various diversity programs are implemented.
