ING wants to scale our DEI training for Corporations across the country by marketing and adding new speakers to the program. Our trainings include the following three topics and community representatives:
Supporting an Inclusive Workplace: This diversity training consists of speakers representing the Black, Asian, Hispanic/Latino, Indigenous, Jewish and Muslim communities. The interethnic panel begins by presenting the history of racism against their groups, the racialization of Muslims and Jews, and the many ways that prevalent stereotypes are internalized by society and contribute to implicit bias, which can lead to discrimination in the workplace. The panel continues by providing what they want coworkers to know about them that challenges prevailing stereotypes and concludes with tools to prevent bias and help create a more inclusive and equitable workplace.
Accommodating Religious Diversity in the Workplace: This diversity training consists of speakers representing the Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Hindu and Buddhist communities. The interreligious panel provides an overview of the challenges faced by employees of various religious backgrounds in the workplace, including bias and bigotry. Speakers provide an understanding of religious practices that might impact employees as well as strategies for countering bias, accommodating religious practices and helping to promote an inclusive and equitable workplace.
Muslim Americans in the Workplace: This diversity training begins with an introduction to Islamophobia and its impact on Muslim Americans as clients and employees in a post 9/11 environment. This is followed by an overview of legal protections of religious rights and strategies for building an inclusive, equitable and productive workplace. To that end, the training provides an overview of the traditions and practices of Muslim clients, and employees and suggestions for positive interactions with clients and how to best accommodate these practices in the workplace through company polices and employee awareness.
All three types of training include strategies for countering bias and promoting an inclusive and equitable workplace where all employees feel valued and affirmed regardless of race, ethnicity or religious identity. The training courses are engaging and interactive and are available in varying lengths and formats to accommodate your workplace’s specific needs.
