Diversity and inclusion training presentation

How to run it

1. 1Open with the ground rules and say clearly that every poll and open answer appears on screen without names.
2. 2Keep it a conversation, not a lecture. After each poll, ask what surprised people about the split before you add anything.
3. 3Read the open answers aloud as they come in, without judging them. Thank people for honesty, especially the uncomfortable answers.
4. 4End by voting on one team commitment, then put the follow-up date in the calendar before people leave. Run the fairness scale again then.

Questions people ask

What should DEI training include?

Shared definitions, how bias shows up at work, specific inclusive habits for meetings and everyday work, real scenarios to discuss, and a commitment the team will check on later.

How do you make diversity training effective?

Keep it discussion-led, use anonymous input so people answer honestly, and tie it to one or two team habits you review after a month. One-off lectures tend to fade.

What is cultural awareness training?

Training that helps people notice how culture shapes communication, expectations and working styles, so colleagues from different backgrounds work together with fewer misunderstandings.
