What You Learn
Inclusion Training & Workplace Integration
Want inclusion training that doesn’t feel mandatory?
Inclusion Training courses can be meaningful, impactful, and engaging. Ours is. Don’t just take our word for it. Past participants say our workshop is “moving”, “compelling”, “powerful”, and “productive”. That’s because it’s hands-on, full of stories, and teaches you things you can use today in your work and life. When you complete our inclusion training workshop, you'll learn how to better connect, have more effective conversations, and more productively collaborate with your colleagues.
Better understanding Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, and Justice — and knowing strategies for integrating them into life and work — are critical to all humans regardless of their profession or discipline. This course covers topics such as intersectionality, unconscious bias, why diversity and inclusion are beneficial to your business, and how to integrate equity and justice into your workplace. You'll learn strategies and techniques for navigating discomfort, having more productive conversations, becoming a better ally, and cultivating a culture of accountability. JEDI initiatives like these reduce absenteeism and turnover while also increasing productivity and profitability.
This course also qualifies as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credit for five organizations: • American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB) RACE®; • Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC); • Human Resources Professionals Association (HRPA); • Law Society of British Columbia (LSBC); and • Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).
