When many companies want to dip their toe into Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) work, their starting place is often with Unconscious Bias training. It’s grown in popularity in recent years and many D&I trainers, have created training programs to meet this need. They can serve as a great “foot in the door” for D&I professionals to help companies dig in deeper on these topics.

These types of trainings can have lasting effects if they are used within an array of other solutions such as Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), courageous conversations, coaching, and other D&I Trainings. But with tighter budgets in employee training becoming more of a trend, we are starting to see one-off or self-directed Unconscious Bias trainings being the only trainings companies are offering for D&I. And a growing body of research indicates that Unconscious Bias trainings are not effective especially if they are the only training a person receives in this area.

That why we are offering a FREE workshop, where you'll learn about unconscious bias & micro-aggressions, but you'll also learn to think critically about these issues & the downsides of using these terms.

When starting a community, whether it’s for your customers, your team or a personal endeavor, it’s a great practice to think through what the collective goals and values are desired for it. Use these questions to help guide your exercise in articulating those values:

What do you expect your community members to value?
Who does your community tell people that they are?
What does your community tell people they can do?
