Diversity, equity, and inclusion training builds employee knowledge, values, and skills to improve upon corporate culture and the employee experience. Though many programs focus on subjects like race, religion, and sex, it's important to consider less common subjects like age, disability, and nationality as well. The goal is to create an inclusive work environment by promoting empathy and sensitivity, while reducing unconscious bias, prejudice, or stigma.

Brandon Hall's research shows that almost nine in ten organizations identify diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as an important driver of business results. Research by McKinsey found that greater ethnic and gender representation within an organization predicts outperformance of less representative organization. For instance, organizations with more than 30% women in leadership outperformed organizations by 10 to 30 percent.  However, only about one-third of organizations rate themselves highly for critical DEI drivers such as having a diverse talent pipeline or leadership that reflects the diversity of the customer base and workforce.

What is the best way to manage these critical initiatives?

A strong solution is needed for all aspects of human capital management. Technology — along with culture, governance, and measurement — impacts all aspects of the DEI journey. AllenComm can help bridge this gap by developing digital learning solutions  that support a sustained adoption and application of DEI principles to improve outcomes for employees, communities, and the business.
