Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Turning diverse individuals into a collaborative team
To attract and retain top-performance talent, workforce diversity, equity, and inclusion training need to become top leadership priorities, and elementary to the fabric of leadership DNA. The more that leaders create environments where individuals feel safe and comfortable bringing their whole selves to their jobs, the more included, committed, and engaged people will feel, and the more those individuals and their organizations will achieve.
GP Strategies’ global research on the skills that leaders need to be successful today, and in the future, discovered that building and maintaining an inclusive mindset was one of four most critical leadership skills. To best exhibit an inclusive mindset, leaders need to understand and combat personal, unconscious bias so that they can build collaborative, psychologically safe spaces for diverse teams.
To remain competitive amid rapid global growth, advances in technology, and an ever-changing workplace, organizations need inclusive leaders to leverage diversity as a strategic advantage. They need leaders who are committed to building their self-awareness and who have the tools they need to act upon their insights.
We view diversity, equity, and inclusion as a foundation to an engaged and productive workforce, a key element to organizational success. Inclusive leaders tap into the needs and skills of individuals and teams and leverage those talents to achieve maximum contribution toward organizational goals. When employees feel that they are a part of something larger than themselves, while at the same time valued for their individuality, they are more engaged, more innovative, and more committed to their team.
Today’s workers want to be recognized as more than contributors to the bottom line.
Maintaining a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion values each individual as a human being while supporting them in using their unique talents, skills, and aptitudes to the fullest.
GP Strategies delivers a range of diversity training and inclusion solutions to help leaders create safe and fostering workplace environments where workforce members can strive and thrive.

Movement or Moment? A Pulse on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Workplace from Leaders and Employees
Is it a movement or a moment? This is the question posed by so many as conversations about race and equality gain momentum, quiet down, and then start up again. For those impacted by it, racism has never ebbed and flowed. It is a constant reality. But in recent months, conversations and requests for education on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) across organizations have intensified.
