CADIA offers customized training for organizations that want to tailor their messaging and branding. Customization will help build relatable company scenarios to facilitate awareness and education on DEI among employees.
Imagine your workforce being introduced to inclusion and equity in a way that helps them understand the benefit to the company, all functions, and the bottom line. CADIA can work with your DEI and training teams to develop content that works for you. We have found success in developing short training videos with short quizzes that workers can easily access and complete.
