Episode description

When done well, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training creates space for courageous conversations that acknowledge hard truths around systemic inequities and explores topics that touch on people’s vulnerabilities in all facets of their lives. For those of you who do this work, there has not been a clear path to follow for making progress. As a DEI trainer, you have forged your own way and learned as you went.

Maria Morukian joins IDIODC to discuss her new book Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Trainers: Fostering DEI in the Workplace. The need for DEI trainers to go at it alone has come to an end. We'll discuss how to develop the knowledge and skills required for DEI training as well as the historical underpinnings and rationale for DEI work. We'll cover the process of organizational assessment, design, and delivery, and strategies for embedding DEI and promoting sustainability through collaborative practices and dialogues.
