Your Inclusion and Diversity Plan Made Easier
Your inclusion and diversity plan is made easier when you supplement it with powerful diversity and inclusion facilitation and training.
Many of our Spectra Change Partners are experienced in a wide range of leadership, sales training and human resources issues. However, training skills in managing diversity and developing a diversity and inclusion plan is a newer skill set for many. In the 1980’s, diversity training in the workplace revolved around compliance matters. In the 2000’s, managing diversity became the “right thing to do” although inclusion was sometimes left behind.
Today, managing diversity and inclusion is the key to greater innovation, ROI, employee recruitment, retention and engagement. Diversity and inclusion are now the air we breathe. It is everywhere and we need it.
Powering Inclusive Cultures: A “Fully Loaded” Facilitation Kit
“Powering Inclusive Cultures,” Spectra Diversity’s diversity inclusion training tool, helps facilitators conduct an effective diversity and inclusion training session of approximately four hours – depending upon which activities are selected. Flexible in design, you can skip elements to accomplish the training in two hours or supplement it to fill an entire day. It is appropriate for participants at all levels within an organization.
Our Train-the-Trainer webinar, free when you purchase the facilitation kit, should help get you started. Should you decide to become an Enterprise or Change Partner, the Powering Inclusive Cultures Facilitation Kit also includes a section on how to interpret the Spectra Assessment Organizational and Individual results.
I knew what to expect when I received the Organization Report for my client, and when I received my Individual Report, because I had seen samples. What I was blown away by was the quality of the training kit that Spectra Diversity provided to me to use when facilitating a session. It was innovative, fresh and had new activities that I had never seen before. It was absolutely everything I needed. Kudos to Spectra Diversity!” ~ LaJuana Warren, Tapestry Solutions for Inclusion
