Is DEI training alone effective in creating more inclusive environments?

Interesting statement below!  There has been much debate on the effectiveness of DEI training in helping to build an inclusive culture.  It's my strong belief that the deployment of training alone will not help to shift the dial in enhancing a company's inclusive culture.  It is one of several levers to deploy in order to see sustainable change.

At AMS we have worked hard to develop a wide programme of DEI training - focusing on conscious inclusion, inclusive leadership, allyship and microaggressions.  It's a mix of facilitator led and e-learning modules, bringing colleagues at all levels together, to learn in a psychologically safe place.  

Our training programmes along with our multi layered DEI strategy - with global leadership support, backed by clearly articulated and understood values and behaviours, helps us to progress our inclusive culture.

DEI training is a key enabler, but it needs to be incorporated with other DEI initiatives to create better environments for employees.
