Some of the world’s most well-known brands have partnered with INCLUDE to drive diversity, equity & inclusion in their organisations.
A multi-module, certified on-demand training program that will build your ability to develop an effective and evidence-based DEI strategy.
Our Certified DEI Strategist Program will provide you with a comprehensive approach to designing a customised DEI strategy that is data-driven, evidence-based, and delivers long-term results for your organisation.
Despite increasing investments in DEI, only a small fraction of organisations have made substantial progress. To move the needle, DEI professionals require a distinct skill set that extends beyond foundational knowledge. They must evolve into DEI Strategists with a deep understanding of evidence-based practices proven to drive meaningful change.
In this introductory module, we clearly define what a DEI strategy is. You will learn about the key principles to develop a long-term DEI strategy and be guided through an effective and practical approach to design your strategy and action plan.
In this module, you learn about the most effective interventions and activities that have been shown, through rigorous research, to advance diversity in workplaces. We will use these to translate your DEI strategy into a comprehensive and effective action plan.
You learn how to identify opportunities and challenges to improve DEI in your workplace by analysing different sources of quantitative and qualitative data. The analysis determines the specific areas your DEI strategy will focus on.
Building on Module 4, we move on to focus on the evidence-based DEI activities that are proven to improve inclusion and equity in workplaces. This also covers ways to mitigate bias in existing policies and processes, such as performance management.
We introduce you to our recommended strategy framework, the Logic Model, which you will use to create your strategy. You will learn how to establish a clear relationship between your intended long-term DEI vision and the action steps needed to deliver it.
In the final module, you learn how to finalise your DEI Strategy by setting attainable targets, agreeing on timelines, and defining roles and responsibilities. Finally, you learn how to communicate your DEI Strategy competently and confidently to your internal stakeholders, to gain buy-in and traction.
