Diversity Training Program Options

Diversity Builder offers a different training options to meet the needs of onsite employees and those working remotely or in different locations. Below are some of the DEI training solutions.

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.

Reimagine your Workplace Culture

The first time our trainers facilitate a live class with a  company or organization, they set the foundation for awareness of difference and respect. Learners recognize they are each accountable in taking steps that may fall outside of their comfort zone. When they work together and make progress, the reward is big – A workplace culture of intentional inclusion.

Turning Understanding into Action

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.

    “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.
