The Important Role of L&D in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Strategy

Efforts toward diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace are vital to the success of modern businesses, as organizations have increasingly recognized the many benefits of fostering a more inclusive, equitable culture. In tandem, the growth of coaching in recent years has presented a significant opportunity for companies to incorporate DE&I measures into their Learning and Development (L&D) strategies, guiding learners through cultural transformation and challenging unconscious biases.
