There is not an abundance of local diversity and inclusion training offered. Many companies are hungry for this training, but the feasibility of bringing in out-of-area consulting firms or sending diversity and inclusion leaders to off-site training for several days is not doable. Tapestry offers 90-minute to half-day public classes at our facility or private workshops for your organization. Classes can be offered in a series (which is great for sustainability) or in ala carte sessions. These interactive sessions provide participants with actionable steps to take back to the workplace immediately.
Please call us today to see how we might help you create a thriving environment… assessments, workshops, lunch and learns, and speaking engagements.
