TRALIANT: A STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK FOR DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION PROGRAMS
Recognizing that employee training is just one critical component in effecting change, Traliant has developed a comprehensive strategic framework to guide corporate leaders through the steps of building a successful DEI program.
The definition of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is expanding in today’s workplaces. It’s no longer simply about publishing a corporate Equal Employment Opportunity statement or embracing employees as part of the corporate family while ignoring their individual identities.
Instead, it’s about recognizing the importance of an employee’s individuality, valuing the differences in your workforce, and identifying and addressing inequities where they exist. Increasing numbers of leaders, and the organizations they are a part of, are realizing that this pivotal cultural moment is an opportunity to create positive change on these crucial issues.
