Key Points:

  • While much has been written about DEI for human resource professionals to help them hire, retain, and advance employees from all walks of life, practical guidance for trainers trying to learn how to integrate DEI into their work has been scarce.
  • With the complexity of diversity, equity, and inclusion work, there is not a well-defined path to follow for those who want to learn.
  • Many trainers who want to use their roles to advance DEI have had to forge their own way, learning as they go.
