Go deeper
For teams ready for harder conversations, and for managers.
Indigenous Fundamentals deals with historic and present-day truths that can feel uncomfortable; the host addresses this directly. More options in DEI team activities. Training managers? Pair Psychological Safety with leadership team building activities, or fold a session into a lunch and learn series.
A simple diversity training program
Diversity training programs work better as a series than as one session. Four workshops, a month or two apart, give people time to try things in between.
- 1
Start with shared language
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Foundations gives everyone the same terms and a few habits to try. - 2
Talk about fairness
Equity vs. Equality turns a common confusion into a useful team discussion. - 3
Turn values into action
Allyship in the Workplace is about what people actually do when a colleague is left out. - 4
Give managers the next step
Psychological Safety in the Workplace helps leads build teams where people speak up.
Make it land
- Have leaders attend as participants, not just sponsors
- Frame it as learning together, not a test anyone can fail
- Agree one team habit at the end of each session
- Check back on that habit at the next team meeting
Not compliance training
These are educational workshops. They are not designed to satisfy legal or compliance training requirements, such as mandatory harassment-prevention training. Check those with your HR or legal team.

DEI examples at work
Inclusion shows up in small, repeatable habits more than in statements. Nine you can start this month.
- Rotate meeting times so the same time zone isn't always up early or late
- Send agendas ahead, so people who like time to think can prepare
- Turn on live captions in every video call
- Ask how to say a colleague's name, and let people add a phonetic spelling to their profile
- Go round the room in meetings so quieter voices get a turn
- Credit ideas to the person who raised them, out loud
- Use the same structured questions for every candidate in an interview
- Plan social events that work without alcohol and end before late evening
- Write documents with headings, alt text and readable contrast

DEI activities to run yourself
Short, low-pressure activities for a team meeting. Keep sharing optional.
- Name stories. Each person shares the story behind their name, if they want to.
- Traditions swap. One tradition, food or phrase from home per person, in a shared doc.
- Inclusive language check. List phrases your team uses, then agree on clearer alternatives.
- “What would you do?” Talk through two short workplace scenarios in small groups.
- Heritage month book or film club. One pick a month, 30 minutes to discuss.
