Justice Equity Diversity and Inclusion

Overview

Most organizations understand the importance of maintaining a diverse inclusive workplace and successfully serving a diverse customer base. They have made significant investments in DEI programs but are less than satisfied with the results. Participants may have come away feeling stereotyped or blamed. Or they may have left with a deeper understanding and genuine motivation but still not knowing specifically what to do or say.

Recognizing the need for a more engaging and practical approach, 901 Consulting and the Institute for Healthcare Communication have worked together to create “Introduction to JEDI: The Power of Difference and Inclusion.” With a mix of self-study and interactive sessions, this 4.5-hour program addresses the “how” of diversity and inclusion: how to create a culture of belonging, and what to do when tensions and conflict around differences arise. Working from the inside out, the program focuses on the awareness and skills needed to foster belonging and inclusion in the moment-to-moment interactions of a typical workday. It meets participants where they are in their own life story and developmental path, engages them as partners in their own learning, and treats them with the same respect and compassion that we encourage them to show to others.
