Inclusive Culture Building

An inclusive company culture is central to retaining employees and to maximizing engagement. In this hands-on and engaging training, ReadySet partners with clients to develop tools to tackle interpersonal bias and to collectively build a more inclusive company culture. This session involves both an educational component, where participants learn about the foundations of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and a design thinking exercise where participants actively and collectively produce relevant and tangible actions for their organization. This is a particularly effective session for teams who are working together to build culture and for managers who are learning to create inclusive culture.
