Diversity Equity and Inclusion Training

Diversity Builder, Inc provides innovative and interactive workplace diversity,  and inclusion training and harassment prevention classes using an immersive approach that helps employees communicate inclusively and make better decisions

How do I measure the success of a diversity training program? To be effective, diversity training should focus on building trust relationships and understanding  through actionable strategies relevant to the team being trained Collective responsibility is a key component to success

Our diversity trainers help employees and managers learn skill based techniques equipping them to use effective inclusive approaches to communication at work For those employees new in their DEI journey,  establishing a  foundational knowledge and elevating self-awareness of how we interact with others different from us are first steps in building a level of understanding More advanced learners move onto topics of allyship, intersectionality, and bystander intervention Our trainers take a positive approach to training, meeting employees where they are and building on the DEI and cultural competency knowledge they have Our trainers use educational cultural competency models with a built-in system that supports individual development in areas of self-reflection and awareness of communication that is exclusive of employees with marginalized identities

We support HR departments in integrating the change in workplace culture they wish to see

Do you have Spanish-speaking employees?  Several of our trainers are bilingual with fluency in Spanish, Greek, and English We have solutions that include group onsite, webinars, or online classes in Spanish

Sensitivity and awareness are first steps in the process The next steps involve implementation of action plans, inclusive communication strategies, and establishing accountability to support respect, civility, and equity

Change occurs when inclusive leaders model the behaviors they wish to see and empower each employee to take on a D& I role When employees feel empowered and are intentional about their own role in building inclusion at work, cultures shift A sense of belonging will result where employees feel safe to be their best authentic selves

Leadership + Empowerment + Collective Accountability = Sustainable Cultural Change Human Resource managers are often tasked with finding a diversity and inclusion training firm who offers effective time-sensitive employee to address a complaint filed Employees or managers often make comments that do not align with the company policies or standards An inappropriate joke may have been shared or an employee may be communicating with words that lack gender or cultural sensitivity The complaint may have resulted from an internal human resources investigation or with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Learning options include online classes and one on one coaching sessions using a webinar format The coaching program focuses on providing strategies to change the behaviors that resulted in the complaint

Diversity Builder recognizes that coaching requests often result from an employee’s performance management plan and are time-sensitive A company may face serious risks resulting from the behavior of an employee to include potential employee lawsuits or EEOC claims Diversity Builder responds with a sense of urgency to identify the best options and deliver that curriculum either online or in-person employee coaching
