10 Diversity Workshops

1. Karamo's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Training

EdApp’s Karamo's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Training is a great primer for workplaces with diverse teams.

There's also a lesson discussing the concept of unconscious bias and microaggressions, and how these actions affect the workplace. From there, Karamo goes over helpful tips to address and counter these diversity issues and make a workplace safer and more inclusive for everyone.

5. What is Gender and Why Gender Equality?

For your diverse workshop, it’s also imperative to touch on the issue of gender equality. Make sure that your team knows why gender equality is essential in building a positive work environment with the help of What is Gender and Why Gender Equality?, a collaboration course between instructor app EdApp and UNITAR. 

This diversity training program is split into four short lessons, starting with an in-depth look at global gender disparity. It goes over the unfair representation of differences in men’s and women’s access to and control over economic resources, and the inequalities that exist in the labor market. UNITAR also discusses the differences between gender and sex and reveals some of the most common gender stereotypes. 

The other half of the course will help your team further understand the concept of gender equality through short pieces of content, quizzes, and a video clip. But what’s interesting about this course is that it also includes a summary of the most common terms and definitions that gives your learners an in-depth understanding of the key concepts of gender equality.

The difference between traditional and inclusive selling is also discussed to give your team a better context about this selling strategy. 

The last lesson strips down selling tips that sales and marketing professionals can take into consideration to make their strategy more diversity-friendly. They’ll be shown how to sell across cultural, gender, and generational variations in this section, step by step.
