  • Clarity on what’s okay (and what’s not): explore how to use comedy that connects by identifying when humour uplifts and promotes psychological safety.

  • A better team culture: discover how humour can create trust, ease stress, and improve organisational engagement, without losing professionalism.

  • Real-life tools: practice storytelling and humour techniques to make your workday a little lighter and your workplace a lot more welcoming.

Vandu Training & Consultancy is instigating positive disruption in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion training. EDI has a multitude of benefits for organisations and individuals, however, recently it has come under criticism for its effectiveness. Vandu Training aims to change that by providing training and consultancy that makes a real difference by supporting organisations and communities to structurally embed an inclusive culture that promotes productivity and wellbeing, rather than providing one-off, ‘tick-box’ training.

We do this by creating thoughtful, facilitative EDI training sessions that can be tailored to attendees’ needs, follow-up sessions to ensure change is being made, inclusive leadership plans and equality champion training, encouraging organisations to maintain change from within – and much more.

This blog explores what diversity training in the workplace entails, why it matters, and how companies can implement effective, meaningful equality and diversity training for staff. It also offers real-world examples, policy insights, and strategic guidance for inclusive employers' training initiatives.

Ensuring your website is accessible to everyone is not only a matter of inclusivity but also about creating a positive user experience and staying compliant with regulations.

Despite the time and money invested, diversity training often fails to achieve real change. In some cases, it even sparks backlash, meaning that these initiatives end up reinforcing the very biases they aim to dismantle. So, why is diversity training ineffective so often?
