About people3, Inc.
This is not your average diversity training or sensitivity training course or respectful workplace training or whatever you want to call it. You know the one—the one that sparks simultaneous eye-rolls between you and your colleagues as the reality of an all-day long training session begins to set in. This course is different because we are a different kind of employee and leadership training company. We think of diversity as difference. And we’re all different.
We focus on improving interactions in the workplace so that you and your colleagues can get along and be more productive. Our courses incorporate an understanding of intersectionality, unconscious bias, demographic trends, and cultural competency awareness. The goal of our employee and staff development courses is to foster an understanding of diversity and inclusion in an organizational environment—why it matters, why it’s important, and why it’s helpful to the bottom line.
