Setting the Bar: Advancing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility for FY 2025

This half-day training provides the foundation you need to jumpstart your DEIA efforts or take them to the next level. We’ll examine biases and microaggressions, review why DEIA is important, and discuss how to create an inclusive workplace.

You’ll leave this training session with what you need to know to about preventing and correcting harassment and discrimination in the workplace, as well as ensuring adherence to the merit system principles, especially as they apply to the hiring process. We’ll look at why and how some agencies are focusing on the concept of belonging and help you set appropriate DEIA goals for the next fiscal year.

Learning objectives

• Identify the laws, regulations and Executive Orders that require your agency to promote DEIA in the workplace.
• Understand legally problematic selection processes and learn remedies to overcome the imbalance.
• Overcome the tendency to exhibit microaggressions in the workplace.
