Training & Facilitation

Are you committed to creating an inclusive workplace for LGBTIQA+ people?

The Equality Project® can help. Our learning programs and facilitation expertise can provide you with the future skills, knowledge and tools to foster a positive, welcoming, and supportive environment for rainbow communities.

Examples of our learning programs include:

This workshop provides a good starting point for organisations that want to provide their workforce a 101-style awareness training session about LGBTIQA+ communities and build allyship in the workplace.

This workshop includes an overview of the terminology and concepts around sex, gender and sexual orientation, unpacking the acronym, inclusive language and an explanation of cultural safety and inclusion in the workplace. The aim of this workshop is to provide a foundational understanding of the LGBTIQA+ community and why it’s essential to build allyship in the organisation to create a truly inclusive workplace culture.

This workshop has been updated in 2024 with the aim of designing a learning experience that is more accessible and has a greater impact on creating long-term change within organisations and individuals.

Suitable for up to 15 participants online or up 30 participants in-person.

In today's workplace, fostering an inclusive culture goes beyond policies. It's about active engagement. Our Allyship at Work program is designed to empower employees to be change agents. Research shows that allies don't just influence individuals; they inspire others, creating a culture of understanding and support. This workshop focuses on building allyship skills, specifically for supporting LGBTIQA+ staff and clients.

Allyship at Work helps you understand your privilege, recognise your positional power at work, and learn specific actions you can take to show up as an ally for LGBTIQA+ people.

This program aims to empower participants to cultivate a workplace culture rooted in understanding, empathy, and support, fostering an environment where every individual not only feels a sense of belonging but also actively contributes to a more productive and harmonious workplace.

Because allyship is a dynamic action that extends to supporting various marginalised or underrepresented groups, not just the rainbow community, this workshop can focus on supporting diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

In this workshop, participants will learn about the concept of unconscious bias, how it affects decision-making and behaviours, and the impact it has on the workplace and society. Through interactive activities and discussions, participants will explore their own biases and learn strategies for identifying and addressing them.

The workshop will provide practical tools and techniques for reducing unconscious bias. Participants will come away with a better understanding of how to recognise and overcome their own biases, and and create a more inclusive and equitable workplace.

Supporting Your Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Strategy & Roadmap

We will work closely with you to design a customised workshop, purpose-built to expertly guide and facilitate the development of your unique DEI strategy or framework.

This workshop presents an opportunity to harness the diverse perspectives and expertise within your organisation, uniting them in a collective effort to address complex challenges and construct a resilient DEI strategy. Our goal is to support you in crafting a comprehensive diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategy, complete with a practical and actionable roadmap tailored to your organisation or business.

This dynamic workshop is grounded in our Solution Sprint approach, blending the principles of Human-Centered Design, also known as Design Thinking which places people at the heart of problem solving and empowers teams to create innovative and inclusive solutions.

Depending on your requirements and the size of your cohort, the workshop can span from a half-day to full-day session or up to consecutive 3 days.

Our leadership program is like a bespoke suit for your leadership journey, designed especially for organisations striving to cultivate inclusive leaders. Available as a 2-3 day intensive or as a longer, more comprehensive program, ensuring it fits seamlessly into your organisation's needs and schedule.

This training program is perfect for employee resource groups and emerging leaders passionate about driving positive change within their organisation. We apply a learner-centred and experiential approach to cultivate critical thinking, empathy, and effective communication.

Whether it's breaking down barriers, championing diversity, or nurturing a culture of belonging, this bespoke program empowers emerging leaders to drive meaningful change and lead with authenticity and inclusivity. Get in touch.
