Cultural Inclusivity Training for Organizations

Helping you Create & Support a Diverse Workplace

As organizations seek to be inclusive and culturally diverse, ensuring leaders and team members have cultural competence is a must. Building the skills needed to understand what diversity and inclusion means and how to apply that understanding to create, and support, a diverse workplace does not happen organically. It takes dedicated time to acknowledge the bias within, have the difficult conversation and discuss how to make changes within your organization.

The Colorado Center for Nursing Excellence has developed the programs below that supports an environment to allow for people to explore their bias, learn how to talk about diversity and create a more inclusive workplace. These programs can be combined or delivered individually. Our diversity team will meet with you to discuss the needs of your organization.
