Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training aims to prevent discrimination and create more inclusive, positive workplaces.

DEI training typically works by building employee awareness of inequality and bias,  educating them on the historical and cultural contexts of equality  movements, and workshopping appropriate responses when employees witness  or encounter problematic behavior.

Most frequently, DEI training is included in employee onboarding or delivered through workshops for existing employees. Here are some common types of DEI training:

• Unconscious bias: Helps individuals identify and understand their own unconscious biases and suggests ways to address these predispositions
• Allyship: Equips people with the knowledge and skills to advocate for those who face microaggressions and inequities 
• Bystander communication: Teaches employees how to respond when they witness discriminatory behavior
• Hiring and recruitment:  DEI training that is specifically aimed at HR and recruitment  professionals to promote equitable hiring practices by encouraging  employees to think about how they source, screen, and interview job  candidates
