Key Differences Between DEI Training and Inclusion & Belonging Training

While Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Training and Inclusion & Belonging Training are closely related, they have distinct focus areas, objectives, and approaches. 

Inclusion and Belonging training 

  • Centers around workplace culture, emotional connections, and behavioral change.
  • Emphasizes day-to-day experiences, psychological safety, and interpersonal inclusion.
  • Helps employees develop empathetic communication and inclusive collaboration skills.
  • Supports organizations in fostering team belonging and engagement.
  • Less policy-driven and more focused on relationships, behavior, and community-building.
