Equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) training for every stage of your inclusion journey

From tailored training programmes to standalone EDI training and compliance-led learning, we help organisations build inclusion capability in ways that fit their goals, people and budget

Training is a fundamental part of any organisational EDI strategy, enhancing your organisation’s inclusive culture through the behaviours of your leaders, managers and teams. 

If you’re responsible for equity, diversity and inclusion, whether as an HR Director, Head of Learning and Development or People Leader, you’re expected to show progress make smart decision about where training will have the greatest impact.

Some organisations need a long-term programme that builds capability over time. Others need focused standalone training on a particular topic, audience or challenge. Others need compliance-led learning they can implement quickly. 

Inclusive Employers helps you choose the right approach. 

Our exceptional facilitators bring concepts to life in virtual or face to face environments and, with over 15 years’ experience delivering EDI training and consultancy to UK employers, we help organisations move from intention to action in ways that fit their goals, content and budgets.

We offer a range of EDI training solutions, from tailored programmes designed to build long-term inclusive capability to ready-to-book courses for immediate learning needs. Whether you are building a strategic roadmap or addressing a single priority, we can help you find the right format.

Tailored learning journeys made up of proven micro modules, pre-built using behavioural science and best practice, adapted to your organisation and designed to build capability.

Focused training on a specific topic, audience or challenge. Ideal when you need a one-off session, targeted intervention or support for a defined inclusion priority. 

Training for organisations that need practical, credible learning quickly – whether that is a course on a key inclusion topic or training designed to meet compliance, policy or conduct requirements.

Investment in EDI training should lead to better engagement, stronger cultures and improved performance.

The challenge is that different goals call for different training solutions.

Some need a tailored programme while others need a focused intervention for a specific audience, topic or challenge.

Teams are often balancing long-term inclusion goals with more immediate policy, conduct or compliance requirements, while still needing to demonstrate value.

A standalone session, a broader programme or a compliance-based solution each serve different purposes. The challenge is knowing which option will deliver the right level of impact.

Effective EDI training starts with choosing the right solution for your organisation, then delivering it in a way that supports action and progress.

1. Understand your organisation

We start by understanding your workforce, challenges, inclusion goals and timescales. This helps us recommend the right level of support rather than forcing every organisation into the same model.

2. Design a solution that matches your needs

Not every organisation needs the same training model. We help you choose between tailored programmes, standalone EDI training, and compliance-led learning based on your goals, audience and priorities.

3. Deliver learning that supports action

We deliver training in formats that work for your people, with practical takeaways, expert facilitation and, where needed, reinforcement and impact measures so you can show progress over time.

We help organisations choose training that fits their goals, audience and level of ambition, then deliver it with credibility, clarity and practical relevance. EDI training should lead to better engagement, stronger cultures and improved performance. Yet many programmes fail to deliver lasting change.

We help you choose the best fit for your goals, audience and priorities, from tailored programmes to standalone EDI training and compliance-based courses.

Our chapter-based approach allows you to roll out training across large, complex organisations while retaining relevance, consistency and quality.

Grounded in behavioural science and adult learning, our training supports better everyday decisions and gives leaders clearer evidence of impact.

The inclusion training workshops have created a space for meaningful conversations around inclusion and are helping to build colleagues’ confidence to address EDI in their day-to-day work.

Colleagues found real value in learning about unconscious bias and inclusive language, which supports our goal of creating a culture where everyone feels valued.

We’ve partnered with Inclusive Employers for many years because their facilitators are expert and approachable, and their personalised approach makes every session relevant.

We would not hesitate to recommend them.

Ready to make EDI training stick?

One-off diversity and inclusion training fades fast.

We help organisations embed inclusive behaviours that last.

Speak to an EDI specialist to explore whether we’re the right partner for your organisation.

No obligation. No hard sell.


Absolutely. Many organisations begin with a single course or standalone session and then expand into a broader training programme over time.

Yes. We offer training for organisations that need a practical course quickly, including training designed to support compliance, policy or conduct requirements.

Our programmes are made up of micro modules and designed to build inclusive capability over time. Standalone training is a focused session or intervention centred on a specific topic, audience or challenge.

Once we understand your requirements, we can typically design and deliver training within a few weeks.

No. Training is part of our integrated offer, which includes consultancy, benchmarking and accreditation and a Membership community.

We deliver training for everyone: senior leaders, managers, employee networks and HR or people professionals.

We offer online and in-person workshops, webinars, accredited programmes, e-learning and drama-based training.

We provide tools to track engagement, behaviour change and return on investment, linking training outcomes to cultural and people metrics where appropriate.

Yes. We can tailor programmes and standalone training to reflect your workforce, sector and inclusion priorities.

We offer a broader training portfolio, from tailored programmes built from micro modules to standalone EDI training and compliance-led learning. We help organisations choose the right approach for their goals rather than taking a one-size-fits-all view.
