DEI program

…

A DEI program, or diversity, equity, and inclusion program, is a set of policies, strategies, and practices that aim to create a workplace that is inclusive and respectful of all employees. DEI programs can include: 

Training

Training employees on how to work with colleagues from different backgrounds and identities. This can include bystander communication training to teach people how to intervene if they witness discrimination or harassment. 

Resource groups

Creating resource groups for underrepresented groups, such as women in leadership, Black employees, and military veterans. 

Hiring practices

Ensuring that hiring practices are inclusive and that biases don't affect how candidates are viewed. 

DEI programs are designed to address issues like discrimination, biases, and marginalization. The goal is to create a culture where all employees feel encouraged to express their ideas and perspectives. Research suggests that diverse viewpoints at all levels of an organization can improve financial results, innovation, and other areas of the business. 

DEI programs can take many forms, but they all share the goal of creating a more equitable and inclusive workplace.
