Education and Training at Insured Retirement Institute
Challenge
We must continue to understand and meet the needs of our diverse workforce and member base.
Actions
Our Diversity & Inclusion Awareness and Unconscious Bias Training initiative includes annual awareness training. All IRI team members participate in Diversity & Inclusion Awareness training & Unconscious Bias training. We believe that talking and training alone will not bring about change. Therefore, all team members commit to be aware of their conscious and unconscious biases and to change practices and processes as appropriate.
Outcomes
Diversity & Inclusion Awareness training and Unconscious Bias training are the first step in creating awareness. Our team members are more aware of behavior that may offend or make others uncomfortable. They know that IRI expects employees of all levels to eliminate bias and prejudice in all settings.
