Here’s some key messages from this episode:

– Why nearly all DEI training has the same two goals

– Why so much DEI training appears to be the same

– How to avoid this devastating evaluation issue of DEI training

——————–

Here’s some key takeaways from this episode:

There is limited evidence to show DEI training works long term 

“the enthusiasm for, and monetary investment in, diversity training has outpaced the available evidence that such programs are effective in achieving their goals”

DEI training is often evaluated using false proxies 

“Asking the trainees if they liked or enjoyed the training or if they found it useful. That’s a false proxy.”

DEI training needs to be relevant to your specific organisation

“Contradictory findings concerning the impact of of Diversity Training may highlight the importance of “contextual factors that can moderate a program’s effects”
