How Can We Improve the Efficiency of Equity Training?
Waterloo Staff Conference Session:
Equity, diversity, inclusion and anti-racism training has become an essential part of professional development initiatives across industries. However, post-training feedback often reports medium or lower levels of efficiency and knowledge transfer associated with equity training programs. By revisiting cases of providing equity training, this workshop will identify and explain the challenges associated with delivering and receiving such initiatives. The session will compare the employees' expectations of equity training with the requirements of professional development programs. During the session discussions, we will examine the gaps and provide practical suggestions on how to enhance EDI-related training within individual departments.
