Why Employers are Increasing Diversity and Inclusion Efforts
During a Pandemic
COVID-19 has presented new workplace learning challenges as
a result of social distancing and stay-at-home orders. Even after such orders
are lifted, companies may opt to keep employees working remotely when possible.
To support distance learning, Diversity Builder, Inc.has
reformatted its onsite training programs as webinars, added to its online class
offerings, and continued to offer trainer-led employee remote coaching. Although
many office spaces are now located at employees’ homes, the issues of diversity
and inclusion remain. Many organizations are investing in their employees
through professional development in areas of diversity, turning crisis into
opportunity.

by creating innovative diversity-driven digital content. The online class
titled Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace includes modules on

training options to reach employees where they work using educational
technology. Diversity and inclusion training contributes to employees feeling
more valued, less isolated, and empowered to do their best work.”
