Diversity and inclusion training can work well, but its effectiveness can vary depending on several factors, including the training method, content, and delivery. When implemented effectively and supported by the wider workplace culture, it can:
- Raise awareness of unconscious biases and how it can impact decision-making
- Improve employee relations and team cohesion
- Enhance company culture by promoting respect and understanding
- Reduce instances of workplace discrimination
Diversity and inclusion training must go beyond being a box-ticking exercise. In order for it to be effective, organisations must apply consistent learning, offer practical strategies to the workforce, and encourage inclusion at all levels.
