What is DEI Training?

Question

Accepted Answer

Gartner defines a DEI Training Provider as an organization that furnishes products and/or services aimed at delivering educational solutions to its employees, with the objective of fostering a more diverse, equitable and inclusive workforce. The objectives of these training programs are to boost awareness, facilitate skill development, create and ultimately sustain behavioral changes that are intended to advance DEI outcomes. Content is delivered through various modalities such as on-demand videos and courses, in-person facilitation and blended learning models. Top vendors in the market span from consultancies and coaches to nonprofits and e-learning providers.
With 93% of organizations conducting DEI training, it is a core component of overall DEI programming. DEI training serves a variety of primary purposes, including boosting awareness, facilitating skill development, creating and ultimately sustaining behavioral changes that are intended to advance DEI outcomes. Because poorly executed DEI training runs the risk of creating more divisiveness and disillusionment with DEI programming, most DEI training providers can consult with DEI leaders on content and delivery formats that best suit the needs of employees to yield relevant and valuable results that drive internal change.
As a consequence of building more inclusive environments through training, benefits to the business include meeting and going beyond training compliance standards; expanding talent attraction and retention (namely Gen Z and underrepresented talent who are more likely to both work at and stay at a company with strong DEI initiatives); increasing employee engagement; and cultivating cultures that are ripe for collaboration, creativity and innovation.
Organizations can contract DEI training providers for numerous use cases related to learning, including the delivery of prepackaged digital content, live workshop facilitation, fully customized content for specific employee cohorts and even consultative services
