DEI Training

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, commonly referred to as DEI, are part of a movement to shift the way we interact with others. By enabling diversity, treating people with equity, and including more voices at the table, DEI can shift the way we do business.

Diversity – The practice of involving a range of people from a variety of different backgrounds and identities.

Equity – Fair and impartial treatment.

Inclusion – Providing equitable access to opportunities and resources for those in marginalized communities.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are critical elements, not just for the businesses of today, but for the forward-thinking organizations of the future.

With ever-growing numbers of people in marginalized communities, the world of the future will not just look different, but also need different solutions. In most situations, only someone within the marginalized population is best suited to create meaningful solutions that both serve and honor their identity. Whether it be increased flexibility for mothers in the workplace or additional religious holiday exceptions, we need to strategically listen to more voices when making critical business decisions.

In addition, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion impact how we share our products and services with others. No longer is the buying power held by a select few. Marginalized populations are growing in buying power and need the products and services that truly meet their needs. The world of tomorrow will demand unique solutions for an ever-growing, and increasingly diverse, audience. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is how we solve tomorrow’s problems today.

• Research-backed insights
  NextUp takes our responsibility to educate others and perform DEI training very seriously. To create the most inclusive, cutting-edge DEI training possible, we use research backed insights.That means we synthesize the latest research, the most up-to-date data, and the most contemporary perspectives as we develop our programming.

• Eliminating bias
  Another key pillar of NextUp’s Diversity Training Program is to consciously eliminate bias. NextUp actively works to uncover bias through all their work and outreach. Once uncovered, NextUp addresses bias and works to eliminate it throughout their programming. We know that continued growth requires active self-reflection on behalf of our own organization as much as the ones we serve.
• Creating Judgment-free zones for education
  Finally, NextUp believes in creating judgment-free zones for education. That means that regardless of your exposure to DEI trainings in the past, we create a safe place to ask questions, get information, and self-reflect. True growth for anyone can’t happen in a world of shame. NextUp knows this and works to foster environments of acceptance throughout our programming.

Through NextUp’s extensive offering of programs, content, webinars, and more, you can accelerate your team into a more inclusive future. By getting to know your team, we’ll be able to meet your specific needs.

Whether this is the first time your team is working on DEI initiatives or if you’re reaching out to NextUp to take your practices of inclusivity to the next level, we have the DEI training programming for your team’s specific initiatives.

With more diverse workplaces, we can enable conversations between those of different walks of life. We create spaces where more are welcome. One by one, diversity in the workplace enables critical conversations that can transform the way we do business.

Simply put, businesses cannot serve people when everyone is not included. When our businesses truly embrace diversity in the workplace, and serve the population they represent, we can make the meaningful shifts our world needs.
