Abstract
ABSTRACT Businesses, government agencies, human services organizations, and academic institutions address diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in a variety of ways, including training. Yet, little scholarly attention has been paid to the empirical outcomes from DEI training. The purpose of study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a racial equity workshop implemented over five years with community stakeholders and the unique inclusion of a caucus modality that supplements the workshop by learning and practicing racial equity skills. Mixed method results suggest that workshop participants increased their knowledge of race and racism, systemic disparities, and biases. Caucus participants reflected on their values and beliefs and actively applied anti-racism and racial equity skills. Both groups indicated intent to change their behavior and caucus attendees explained how they had already begun behavior changes. With the extant literature, these research findings can assist stakeholders to implement DEI training and foster more equitable decisions and organizations.
