Include: Rethink Diversity in the Workplace

Go Beyond Awareness to Impact

Training people on our differences and biases is one thing. Our Include course goes further. We focus on the behaviors that drive connections and relationships. Relationships between people are at the core of inclusive, productive work environments, regardless of the demographic make-up of your people. It’s in relationships where trust, understanding and empathy thrive.

Beyond this Moment

We sit at a moment in history where employees and communities are looking to business leaders to show a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. That is certainly reason enough to take action. But there are many other reasons as well. Organizations that dedicate time and resources to Diversity and Inclusion have:

• Higher job satisfaction
• Lower turnover
• Higher productivity
• Increased creativity & innovation
• Increased organizational flexibility and adaptability
• Stronger talent attraction & retention

A New Way to Think About Diversity & Inclusion

Chapman & Co. understands that meaningful change doesn’t happen in organizations from traditional training alone. It happens when people’s needs are understood and when they embrace a shared purpose. That’s why we partnered with thought leader and experienced diversity and inclusion consultant, Fred Falker, to develop a different approach to inclusion build on that understanding.

Our class Include, was designed for meaningful interaction and sustainable change. It is meant for employees and leaders at all levels. Available both in person and virtual, 2-hour (line employees), 4-hour (leaders of people), and full day (senior teams) durations.
