Equity in Action for Managers: the mini-modules
Equity in Action for Managers is a short, practical learning experience that helps managers apply equity in the decisions they make every day.
Created by Celeste Warren of CRW Diversity, the mini-modules help managers recognize where equity shows up in their day-to-day leadership and give them tools they can immediately put into practice. As the program puts it: short, practical, and designed for busy leaders.
What do the Equity in Action for Managers mini-modules teach?
They teach managers to see where equity shows up in ordinary leadership moments and to act on it. The learning builds on the six elements of the Equity in Action Model: Awareness, Access, Advocacy, Action, Accountability, and Empowerment.
CRW Diversity frames the program as the next step after understanding the principles: understanding is the beginning, and applying them in the everyday decisions managers make is where change happens.
Practical
Tools, not theory
The stated aim is tools managers can immediately put into practice, tied to decisions they already make about information, assignments, feedback, and recognition.
Grounded
From inside the room
Built by a former Fortune 100 Vice President and Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer with 10 years leading global diversity and inclusion.
