"Diversity awareness and focus must be a part of a company's culture in all aspects. For training to be effective, the message must be reinforced regularly, and managers must coach their employees when they see behaviours and attitudes that contradict an inclusive environment."
~ Shane Green (Culture Hacker)
Businesses need to create a more inclusive work environments and support workplace diversity. Sometimes that training can become dry and impersonal. To the contrary, Diversity Works is an interactive exploration into diversity awareness that leverages the science of learning to create opportunities for real conversations that matter.
Diversity Works is designed to get adult learners out of their seats and into station-based activities catered to distinct learning preferences, interaction types, and technology options. Part experiential, part social, and part emotional, the Diversity Works learning style model encourages learners to explore and absorb new ideas around inclusivity and diversity.

About
Diversity Works is a hands-on workshop that brings awareness of diversity and inclusion concepts to your workplace. It comes with everything you need – a setup guide, Facilitator Guide, and activity and participant materials – all in one convenient box. Activity stations are set up around the room for learners to decide which learning activities they want to participate in during the workshop.
Regardless of the activities they choose, learners will achieve the same learning outcomes. Each of the activities falls under one of three learning objectives:
- Understanding Self – Describe what makes you the unique individual you are.
- Understanding Others – I recognise what makes others the unique individuals they are.
- Communication – Consider differences and act respectfully in the workplace.
The game is designed with activities that include different interaction types (individual, partner, or group), learning experiences (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, reflective, competitive, or problem-solving), and technology types (low-tech or high-tech). When the first part concludes, learners participate in a final shared experience using a diversity and inclusion board game.
Diversity Works comes in a ready-to-train kit for you to deliver a brain-friendly, hands-on, interactive learning experience. Each kit includes materials for up to 25 participants, and extra refill kits are available.
