Diversity & Inclusion:
This workshop was first developed and conducted for the LEGO Group APAC DEI Taskforce.
DIELP
Understand how organisations view diversity and why inclusion, equity, leadership and purposes acts synergistically in a Virtuous Circle. Explore the intersectional identities of you and your team. Gain an overview of the work in Equity & Inclusion.
Unconscious Biases
“I am a good person – but why do I still find it so difficult to work with some people?” We all carry implicit, or unconscious biases. Understand how biases can sabotage best intentions and learn how you can practice conscious inclusion at the workplace.
Privilege and Power
Discover the privileges afforded by your identities, the systemic disadvantages that perpetuate inequalities at organisations, and how to ensure a fairer workplace.
Subtle Acts of Exclusion (SAEs) & Allyship
SAEs or microaggressions refer to subtle, often unintentional verbal and nonverbal slights that carry negative messages towards minorities. When it happens, what should you do? How can you address it in a manner that maintains collegiate relationships?
Equip your D&I Champions with foundational understanding
Building inclusive cultures is hard work, but teamwork makes light work. This workshop is primed to engage in meaningful dialogue with a pivotal change of perspectives, preparing your D&I team to set their D&I strategy. The session is designed as an experiential learning journey to uncover key concepts in D&I. For a workshop that equips D&I professionals, kindly refer to our Beyond D&I – DIELP Certification.
