Foundations of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
We have now presented our most popular workshop, “Foundations of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion”, to tens of thousands of people around the world. This session is designed to help lay the building blocks upon which further DEI training can develop. Key learning takeaways from this session include:
- A discussion on the imperatives for inclusion and the key difference between diversity and inclusion
- Key unconscious bias, cultural competence and allyship concepts and their impact on professionals from equity-seeking communities
- Key forms of bias that manifest within organizations
- How to develop your cultural lens to better interrupt biases and be more adaptive in working across differences
- Strategies for becoming more inclusive and culturally competent when working with team members and clients from equity-seeking communities
Other Foundations Training
We know that budgets and geography can sometimes be a challenge. We’re committed to working with you to find the most cost-effective and impactful ways to deliver programming across regions, business units, employee groups and more.
DEI Assessments
Learn how to take your training to the next level by leveraging the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) with your teams. The IDI is the leading tool on the market used to measure the cultural competence of an individual, team or organization.
Using this tool alongside our foundational training will enable you to hold more meaningful inclusion conversations and to better benchmark progress.
Ritu’s workshop was incredibly powerful and inspiring, and the participants left feeling empowered and with a wealth of knowledge and tools they could apply in their personal and professional life. Planning the workshop and working with Ritu was an amazing experience. Her willingness to listen to our needs and adapt the workshop to the context in which it was being positioned was indeed praiseworthy. I would highly recommend Ritu for her authentic leadership and deep expertise in the field of DEI.

It’s hard to provide training that is both on point and inspiring, but working with Komal impressed us and left us eager to learn more.

The most enjoyable aspect about working with Ritu is her consistent sense of connectedness and authenticity… Ritu took the time to understand and inventory where we were in our DEI training journey and subsequently crafted those trainings to meet our needs. bci was able to deliver trainings that were timely, relevant and impactful. I would recommend bhasin consulting inc.!
