Traditional cultural competency trainings often fall short. They often fail to sustain engagement, reinforce key concepts, or measure long-term impact. To drive real change, learning programs must be designed to build momentum, create measurable behavior shifts, and foster a culture of belonging.

This session explores best practices for structuring learning initiatives that go beyond one-off sessions. Learn how to design programs that incorporate assessments for knowledge retention, use extrinsic motivators like supplemental materials and recognition programs, and organically increase engagement. Walk away with actionable strategies to create learning experiences that not only educate but also drive lasting cultural transformation.
