Diversity has become an important component of a successful business, and employers have a responsibility to ensure a culture where people from all backgrounds feel welcome. But what’s the best way to create a work culture in which everyone, from the CEO to the managers to all employees, embraces diversity and promotes equality? What is the best way to effectively train on respectful engagement with others? What about training for managers; what is the most effective way to make managers aware of their responsibilities, with training that does not feel judgemental?

VinciWorks is excited to announce it has released a new, innovative diversity suite that will provide solutions for all of these issues and more. The new suite includes four different courses, each with a different focus.

Here’s an overview of the four courses in the suite:

Diversity and inclusion: Engaging with others

Learners will:

• Hear authentic first-hand accounts of how diversity issues play out in the workplace to raise awareness of these issues and how they manifest. 
• Immerse themselves in learning about various approaches, frameworks, and tools for communicating more effectively and engaging with others within the internal workforce, and with people external to the organization (clients, suppliers, contracted workers etc.). 
• Explore communication strategies and strengths that can be utilised and leveraged to and engage with others effectively and inclusively in both their personal and professional lives.

Diversity and inclusion: Managers in focus

Managers will learn how to:

Diversity and inclusion: Bystander intervention in focus

Learners will:

• Learn techniques for how to intervene as a bystander, what general protocols you should follow, and consider what you would do if confronted by those issues in the workplace.
• Understand the positive impact that bystander intervention has on individuals, organisations, and corporate wellbeing and how it adds to the overall atmosphere of a safe working environment
• Get to know the strategies for intervention and how to prioritize your own safety while intervening and how to proceed in volatile situations.
• Review some practical steps in real life applications for intervention so that participants are confident intervening the next time they witness an unwanted behaviour.

Diversity and inclusion: Unconscious bias in focus

Learners will:

• Explore the different types of unconscious bias (ageism, disability, gender etc.) and how to recognise each of them in ourselves and others
• See first-hand the various cues and behaviours that signal that unconscious bias is occurring within us or others and learn how to deal with this phenomenon
• Learn to acknowledge that these biases exist in every individual and if they aren’t recognized and avoided, they could lead to decisions that are bad for both individuals and the company.
