Welcome to DEI: From the Inside Out! Many of you have participated in different versions of DEI programs over the last several years. DEI has been a big buzzword in the workplace over the past four years. Many companies and organizations, large and small, have established DEI initiatives. Based on the research, however, many still need help with successful implementation. From our company's perspective, the primary reason is the approach! Many DEI initiatives are about race and other factors and negate the one aspect with the most remarkable ability to move the needle, the humanistic element of DEI. This approach is about valuing, welcoming, and appreciating the people around us as human beings, regardless of their differences in culture, race, gender, etc. The system of diving into bias training, microaggressions, etc.—has not worked very well. We are not negating their importance, but when we view things from the humanistic side, we begin to see the beauty and benefit of DEI as a growth and benefits tool for your company or organization.
That is what the DEI From the Inside-Out Model is all about.
This 2-session Micro-Credential program, will provide valuable tools to add to or develop your DEI efforts so that all stakeholders will benefit from the investment of money and time. It will also create a safe space for people to learn, grow, and adjust where necessary.
