Training & Workshops

Our core inclusion trainings and workshops comprise our suite of diversity, equity and inclusion ‘essentials’

These sessions tackle bias, raise awareness and increase base knowledge around different strands of inclusion, as well as commonalities between them.

All our workshops take an intersectional approach to D&I and focus on practical actions participants can take back to the workplace, changing behaviors and fostering more inclusive cultures.

The trainings below are part of our ‘core’ offering, but elements can be tailored to your organization or intended audience.

We also offer fully bespoke trainings, which our experienced D&I consultants can work with you to co-develop. This includes creating e-learning modules covering different elements of diversity for your organizations’ LMS.
