Background

Before we asked Gamiel at Diversity Marketplace to work with us, we had recruited a team of Group Diversity & Inclusion Leads and launched the departmental Diversity & Inclusion Strategy.

I identified a capability gap with the Group Leads who had varying knowledge of diversity and inclusion

Understanding what equality/diversity meant in practice and enabling group leads to see their roles as change agents.

Training

The training we received from Gamiel was the 7 modules on Diversity & Inclusion Champions;

• D&I foundations
• Creating a culture of Inclusion
• Redefining unconscious bias to conscious inclusion
• Inclusive Leadership
• Retention and Promotion
• Engagement, Attraction and Recruitment

Support

We received great facilitation of each module and the Train the Trainer events.

There was good literature and research brought into the discussion with some challenging conversations.

Impact

Gamiel made us feel included, valued and collaborative when working together through the training.

Summary

All the modules have been useful but will pinpoint the GDIB assessment tool as giving the most impact as it helped to provide a holistic Diversity & Inclusion view.

We received excellent delivery of key topics that feed into our Delivery & Inclusion Strategy.

The headspace provided for Group Leads to discuss and examine key concepts .

A big thank you to Gamiel.
