L&D’s Role in Cultivating Racial Equity in the Workplace

Issues of diversity and racial equity have taken a renewed importance in many organizations. How do we in L&D, including both those who hold more privileged identities and those who don’t, connect meaningfully to the conversation, process our feelings and perceptions, and design learning experiences that are equitable?

In this session, we’ll discuss L&D’s role in cultivating racial equity and participants will walk away with key resources and actions to:

Explore personal socialization and subsequent bias
Discuss the intersection of race & other social identities to address inequity across other aspects of marginalization (gender, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity)
Make impactful anti-racist decisions that make your learning designs more equitable
Develop learner personas that help you consider your diverse learners based on their identities
Assess if structures, processes, and/or social interactions are equitable
Work more effectively with your team across lines of difference
