Your IDEA Training Sucks: The truth about learning programs on inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility
Research from Harvard has found that training on inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility (IDEA) has little long-term impact on behavior and that people return to their bias-driven behaviors within less than an hour of having taken a program. Yet, organizations constantly default to training as the solution to address issues of exclusion they’re facing. If the current model doesn’t work, what must we change to make it work?
Your IDEA Training Sucks takes a critical look at IDEA training, why it doesn’t work, and what organizations need to do to ensure that employers can successfully change people’s behavior in their journey to create inclusive and equitable workplaces. Based on his book Birds of All Feathers: Doing Diversity and Inclusion Right and his extensive experience in inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility, Michael Bach shares his theory for creating impactful and effective IDEA training programs.
