Publisher's Summary

This complete guide to effective, transformative diversity training provides an answer to the superficial, check-the-box DEI efforts that are undermining the entire field.

DEI work is getting a bad reputation. But that’s because it’s not being done right, say veteran diversity consultants James O. Rodgers and Laura Kangas. Too many organizations are treating diversity training as a quick-hit, low-cost, check-the-box activity.

Effective diversity training involves behavioral change based on adult learning theory. It is rigorous, deeply personal, experience based, and, if done well, life changing. Rodgers and Kangas offer a complete guide, from design to implementation to results. They show how to:

  • Determine what specific, tangible outcomes an organization wants before it starts
  • Link diversity training to overall organizational strategy
  • Help all participants forge an individual, emotional connection to the training
  • Identify what skills a facilitator needs—the right facilitator makes all the difference
  • Create memorable learning experiences, not simply educational programs

The authors’ goal is nothing less than to spark a worldwide revolution of informed practitioners, employees, and business leaders who will demand diversity training be given the same time, resources, and attention as any other critical enterprise initiative.
