What is Inclusity^TM?

Diversity and Inclusion Training

Through inclusion training, coaching and consulting, we help organizations transform and reach their business goals. We customize workplace solutions to support organizations’ strategic efforts toward inclusion, culture change, change management, and leadership development.

After 20 years working in the diversity training space, Maria Arcocha White realized diversity efforts still focused on outward diversity and checking boxes. There was a lack of focus on true culture change and valuing all diversity (whether you could see it or not). In 2013, she founded Inclusity™, to pursue an empathetic, inclusion-focused approach to inclusion and diversity work.

When you build and sustain a workplace culture that truly includes and values each person, then diversity can thrive there. Moreover, inclusion improves your business’ bottom line by increasing employee engagement and productivity.

Each person is unique, and so is each organization that we work with! Once we assess your needs, we can determine a solution that’s the right fit. Because your business’ success is our goal, we can customize any of our programs to align with your organization’s strategy and goals. Our versatility means we can provide inclusion training and services for groups of all sizes — from one leader to thousands of employees.

At Inclusity we have discovered that the best place to learn is in a safe space managed by experienced, compassionate facilitators — where mistakes can be learning opportunities. Our facilitators establish confidential, empathetic environments in which participants feel safe discussing potentially tough topics. Most of the learning during our inclusion training comes from honest discussions, introspection and storytelling.

We believe that when people understand and value each other’s unique characteristics, it helps build trusting, productive relationships. This belief forms the foundation of our approach to Elements of Individuality™ training workshops. In a workshop, we ask participants to identify their defining attributes and then share the most important ones with the others. Through sharing and listening to each other, real connections start to be forged. They discover similarities and common ground. Most importantly, the process allows participants to recognize and appreciate that all people are diverse – that diversity goes beyond visible differences like gender and race.
