Intentional Inclusion
Diversity Builder trainers developed the term intentional inclusion. We learned early on that inclusion in the workplace requires a purposeful action-based plan focused on effective best practices. Positive change does not just happen. Diversity Builder trainers build upon the skills each team member has and meet them where they are.
Reimagine your Workplace Culture
The first time our trainers facilitate live classes with a corporation, government agency, or non-profit organization, they set the foundation for awareness of difference and respect. Learners recognize they are each accountable in taking steps to build community within their organization. The trainers teach about transformative organizations and learn where their team is and their goals for the future. When they work together and make progress, the reward is big – A workplace culture led with intentional inclusion.
Turning Understanding into Action
Diversity Builder educational programs and workshops focus on best practices that lead to culture shifts, with an emphasis on respect and affirming practices.
How much does DEI training cost?
The pricing is set by the location, number of participants, the duration of the training, number of sessions, and other factors. Online virtual classes are generally the least expensive option and an effective option to consider if price and logistics are major factors for your group.

Blended Learning Options
Companies have varying training needs and schedules. A company may have groups of shift workers working 1st, 2nd, or 3rd shifts. These employees may require training in the late night or early morning hours or Saturday classes. Other employees may work from home or be located in remote locations, distanced from other employees. Diversity training programs can be developed to include introductory material to more advanced topics and strategies.

“As an HR Director and Vice President of a national building technology firm and real estate company, we sought a training company who could bring personalized solutions to the table, engage employees, and partner in producing sustainable change within the company. Our real estate firm is committed to providing training opportunities and career growth to employees. Diversity Builder led two company-wide onsite training projects, one on unconscious bias and the other on harassment prevention. They also were able to bring other workplace training topics to our teams as a value-add, such as team building and effective communication. In addition to the group training, they provided additional training support to individual managers through both remote and onsite coaching to help develop our leadership team and address time-sensitive challenges.”

A Different Approach
It all starts with awareness. Once the foundation of comprehension is set, it is time to turn understanding into action. First employees gain awareness of inclusive and appropriate behaviors, next the level of sensitivity rises. Using skills acquired in training, employees will start leading by example with inclusive conversations and behaviors. With leadership’s endorsement and support our trainers build programs that include best practices that empower employees to speak up and use positive bystander intervention techniques to collaborate with co-workers. As employees work together to be accountable to the culture they wish to achieve, fewer harassment or discrimination claims arise and employees work issues out themselves, with fewer trips and complaints to the HR office. Choose from a list of our vast training topics.
Online eLearning Options
The online option complements group instructor-led or webinars as an integral part of a blended learning approach and for employees who work at home or remotely. Effective online classes are an attractive solution for companies who have employees who are in call centers or work at scattered locations who cannot easily allocate time or travel for educational initiatives. Similarly, these classes are a good first step for on-boarding new hires or scheduling employee development for shift workers.

Cultural Competency Assessments
Self-assessments and training surveys provide insight in knowing where employees are on their cultural diversity journey. Whether employees are based in the United States or globally, culture surrounds the workplace. Cultural competence is essential for business success, retention, and job satisfaction. Diversity Builder’s experienced trainers facilitate open discussion and guide learners through the critical elements of cultural sensitivity, understanding and interpretation. By being culturally competent, your staff is better positioned to understand diverse values, behaviors, and beliefs of co-workers, vendors, and customers. Pre-assessments and post-training assessments are recommended to gauge the impact of the sessions and recommend future cultural competency action plans and programs. Diversity Builder trainers will help your company or organization progress to a culture of civility, equity, and inclusion.
