Program Overview: What is Anti-Racism?
Anti-Racism is the active practice of identifying, challenging, and changing racist policies, behaviors, and power structures. This 15-hour instructor-led program gives HR and people teams the shared language, practical tools, and confidence to recognize racism and respond with fair, consistent action. Across six modules, participants explore bias, inclusive language, allyship, and anti-racist people practices.
Learning is experiential and discussion-led: short concept sessions are followed by practice scenarios where participants rehearse inclusive language, bias interruption, and bystander intervention in pairs and small groups. A skilled facilitator guides reflection, coaches difficult conversations, and keeps the space honest and respectful. Every module builds toward a personal practice commitment. The program closes with a three-hour capstone showcase where each team presents its anti-racism action plan for instructor and peer feedback.
Left unaddressed, racism in the workplace corrodes trust, silences talent, and exposes organizations to legal and reputational harm. The program teaches teams to spot bias in hiring, reviews, and everyday interactions, and to intervene with safe, practical techniques. Participants replace avoidance with confident, consistent action that builds belonging.
Nobody leaves with just awareness. Each team commits to an action plan with named owners and dates, the kind of thing that gets checked at the next quarterly review.
Across six modules, participants move from understanding how racism operates in workplaces to practicing real responses through guided role plays and practice scenarios. They learn to spot unconscious bias in hiring and promotion decisions, use inclusive language, intervene safely as bystanders, and coach managers through sensitive conversations. The program closes with a capstone showcase where each team drafts a concrete anti-racism action plan tailored to its own policies, demographics, and priorities, so learning turns into sustained accountability.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
Anti-racism follows unconscious bias, moving your team from noticing biased thinking to acting against racism in decisions, policies and everyday conduct. After that, the path widens to a respectful workplace for everyone and finishes with leaders who keep inclusion going in their own teams.
