Diversity Builder
I LOVE Diversity Builder! They are a leader in diversity training and specialize in gender training in the workplace. Personally used their services: amazing group!
Transgender Training in the Workplace
Their gender identity and expression training is engaging and transformative. Their trainers are considered some of the best in the nation and are able to frame complex gender concepts so employees can easily understand and move toward affirming practices and allyship. Employees will learn how to disrupt harmful gender-based microaggressions and step in as active bystanders.
Gender pronouns training (link to https://diversitybuilder.com/gender-sensitivity-equality-training/) is an integral part of the training as is understanding the gender spectrum and fluidity.
They go far beyond awareness and gender sensitivity training. Their trainers lead onsite and webinar programs. Many companies and non-profit organizations book their trainers as speakers for webinar presentations supporting PRIDE month, Transgender Day of Visibility, and Transgender Day of Remembrance.
After receiving training on gender diversity and inclusion, other trainings that follow include Resolving Unconscious Bias and Bystander Intervention classes.
Online self-directed diversity training programs are an additional way to reach employees. These e-learning modules are interactive and engaging and include tools to make the strategies learned actionable.
