Equity, Equality, Diversity + Inclusion

Done Differently

Welcome to Your D+I

Your D+I have always ensured that Equity, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion is for everyone. On our site you will find a plethora of free resources to help you either start your journey or to support you in continuous learning. We offer and provide a safe place through our fun, interactive and carefully curated workshops for you and your teams and will support and guide you to becoming a more inclusive organisation. We also offer consultancy and audits which will support your business by ensuring EEDI is at the heart of everything you do!

 

We have always committed to offering affordable and equitable workshops solutions for any business. That is why from April until September we will be offering lunch and learn workshops from £495*. These sessions will be for one hour and for up to 25 delegates*. If you book 3 or more workshops we will give you a 15% discount on the total price.

In today’s diverse and interconnected world, fostering an inclusive workplace is no longer just a nice-to-have, it’s a business imperative. Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) workshops are a powerful tool to create a more respectful, equitable, and productive environment for everyone.

Why workshops matter:

  • Raises Awareness: Workshops provide a platform to educate employees about unconscious bias, microaggressions, and the impact of privilege. This knowledge is crucial for fostering empathy and understanding.
  • Fosters Open Dialogue: They create safe spaces for open and honest discussions about diversity and inclusion, allowing employees to share their perspectives and experiences.
  • Builds Skills: Workshops equip employees with practical skills for navigating diverse teams, having inclusive conversations, and addressing bias in the workplace.
  • Creates a Culture of Inclusion: By fostering a shared understanding of D&I principles, workshops contribute to creating a more inclusive and respectful workplace culture.

Lunch and learns we offer

Being an effective ally

Being An Effective Ally Workshop” teaches how to genuinely support underrepresented groups without appearing tokenistic. Participants will learn the importance of allyship, how to transition from bystander to ally, and the varied expressions of allyship. Allyship is the backbone of inclusion. Without it we can’t move forward to create a workplace where everyone can be seen, have a sense of belonging and can thrive.

The A-T of LGBT+

The A-to-T of LGBT+” provides a comprehensive overview of the meanings behind the acronym, covering everything from asexual and queer to non-binary and trans. This resource will enhance your understanding of pronouns and offer practical tips for fostering inclusivity among LGBT+ employees. We aim to equip you and your teams with the tools and resources necessary to develop a genuine LGBT+ strategy for your business, ensuring awareness extends beyond just Prid

It's just banter

This session covers the Equalities Act including recent changes to the law and sexual harassment legislation, protected characteristics, empathetic listening, and the evolution of language. It provides tools to understand how we can communicate more effectively and inclusively of each other and guide you on how to address situations when ‘banter’ and goes too far.

Any lunch and learn session costs £495 for up to 25 people. Looking for something a bit more bespoke? Just let us know!

Hey I'm Chris! Welcome to Your D+I

I’m Chris, Founder and Director of Your D+I. 14 years ago I was fired for being gay. This had a serious impact on my life and career to the point where I felt that I could never bring my true authentic self to work. Unbelievable right?

Unfortunately, this still happens today with groups and demographics being discriminated against for just being themselves. At your D+I we are here to do D+I Differently. We are here to speak the way that your teams want to be spoken to and will understand.

At Your D+I we are not one for corporate bull sh*t, finger pointing or assigning blame. We are here to educate, support, and help have those uncomfortable conversations.  

We support you to instill authentic diversity and inclusion into your organisations and to provide a platform where everyone is seen, valued, and supported on an equal playing field.

What We Do

Workshops

Interactive workshops covering a range of diversity and inclusion training topics including Unconscious Bias, LGBT+, Disability, Diverse Recruitment, Inclusive Language and Banter and Allyship. These workshops can be delivered online, in person or on-demand.

Audits

A complete review of your organisation, taking a look at your people, marketing, recruitment, policies, training, salary and rewards. Our audits take a deep dive into the makeup of your organisation and provide actionable insights for improvement.

Consultancy

No organisation is the same. If you’re in need of support with a particular diversity and inclusion topic or looking to implement change but not really sure where to start, we’re here to help! No matter what stage of your journey you’re at, get in touch and we can discuss over a cup of tea.

What our lovely clients say

"Chris has the warmth and genuine enthusiasm and care that made our D+I training informative and enjoyable, the feedback from the team was extremely positive. I am so happy we found Chris amongst a sea of dull D+I companies, and look forward to working together going forward!"
Danielle Lehtonen-Riley
Operations and Marketing Manager, The Great Frog
"We love working with Your D+I, their detailed knowledge about the DE&I topics is something that opened our eyes and helped us start on our own DE&I journey. They helped us audit our Recruitment and Hiring processes, made recommendations for our online presence to make it more accessible and inclusive and brought new perspectives to the team with their educational workshops."
Monika Szabova
Impact Manager, Arc Hospitality
"Your guidance and support has been quite the game-changer. We're now getting imagery that is authentic and greater diversity - a work in progress and incorporating the suggestions into the Hub delivery and for my part, in our curriculum delivery and we feel we've got something much more tangible thanks to you."
Pippa Waller
Careers and Employability, University of Plymouth

Making Inclusion the heart of everything we do.

Our workshops, audits and consultancy support help you to create truly inclusive workplaces by educating your people on diversity, equality, equity and inclusion. We help you shape your operations so that equality and inclusion is at the heart of your agenda.

How Inclusive Is Your Business?

Without knowing your business’ position on where you are with diversity and inclusion, it can be hard to choose what steps to take next and what D+I services you need.

 

That’s why we provide a free of charge consultation to understand your business and goals. This allows us to understand the current levels of both diversity and inclusion in your workplace, and put together an action plan to help you kick-start your journey!
