Beyond ‘Woke’: A Critical Analysis of the Impact of Diversity & Inclusion Training Initiatives Whitepaper

Conversations around diversity & inclusion training continuously shift, with some organisations scaling back on commitments and others still in full support of equipping people with the skills to respect, celebrate and include each other.

The ‘Beyond Woke: A Critical Analysis of the Impact of Diversity & Inclusion Training Initiatives’ whitepaper draws insights from nearly 3,000 learners and evaluates the role of organisational support in embedding equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) principles following training programmes.

With 1 in 7 employees stating they are not confident in their manager’s ability to support their ongoing learning, this report aims to share best practices, areas for improvement and ideas to successfully implement and sustain inclusion initiatives within organisations.
