    DEI Training Workshops in Sydney & Online

    Transform Your Workplace
    Expert-Led Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Programmes

    In today’s world, a deep understanding of cultural, linguistic, and neurological diversity is not just a nice-to-have – it’s an essential component of a successful and inclusive workplace. Our specialised workshops are designed to celebrate human differences, address unconscious bias, and leverage diversity for the creative and innovative advancement of your team and organisation.

    Workshop Overview

    Our dynamic DEI workshops are specifically designed to unlock the collaborative and innovative potential of your workforce. These sessions are ideal for everyone from general staff to leaders, and focus on improving your teams ability to relate, collaborate and perform with sensitivity and understanding.

    Staff leave with a profound appreciation for the complexities of diversity and unconscious bias. They’ll gain insights into not just the visible differences among people but also the subtler aspects of diversity such as cognitive diversity (including neurodiversity), and implicit diversity shaped by unique worldviews. Your teams emerge with an appreciation of the value of an inclusive workplace culture and how they can be an essential part of it.

    “Katherine presented to our team of 40 staff at our annual staff symposium and it was absolutely fantastic. Katherine was engaging and really helped all staff members relate better to each other. We were so impressed we wanted her back for a conference of 150 medical practice managers which also went really well. Very happy with the resources provided by Associated Employee Assistance Providers who helped arranged both the above plus follow up articles. Highly recommended.”
