DE&I Training: A 3-step approach

Our approach to DE&I upskilling is a structured 3-step model including education, engagement, and embedding the learning. This comprehensive model is designed to bring about meaningful and sustained organisational change.

1. Educate: We start with formal learning of critical concepts tailored to different learning preferences—visual, auditory, or kinesthetic. The goal is to establish a foundational understanding of terms like 'unconscious bias' and 'allyship.'

   
   

2. Engage: Next, we deepen understanding through discussion and scenario-based learning to promote problem-solving, critical thinking, and group cohesion.

   
   

3. Embed: Finally, we solidify through follow-up sessions. These are not just additional meetings, but crucial for fostering peer mentoring, building new habits, turning knowledge into practical skills, and, most importantly, driving mutual accountability for sustained change.

Here's one of the scenarios we use in our training:

"...you realise that many candidates your colleague has hired went to their elite university..."

What comes to mind when you read this? Why does it matter? What would you do if you noticed this? Why does it happen?

Research shows that diverse teams are more innovative and deliver enhanced performance. If you're interested in upskilling your workforce in DE&I to achieve these benefits, let's start a conversation.
