Cost comparisons

Not only are existing DEI solutions often ineffective forstartups, they’re prohibitively expensive:

● Chief Diversity Officers: $250-300K salary, plus $20,000+ agency fees.

● Unconscious bias trainings/other 1-off guest speakers and events: $5K minimum, for questionable impact

● Other DEI consulting / event partnerships / job board ads: run in the many thousands, while effectiveness is dubious at best.

Testimonials

“The instructors make the learnings memorable, engaging, and intentional.”

-Ana Paula, People Lead

“I’ve been reading a lot – really, scoured the Internet – for DEI content and resources, and nothing came close to the learnings I got in just a couple of classes of Inclusion At Work.”

-Krystle, PM

“I’m so grateful to participate in this course, as it really gave us the right frame of mind to execute on our goals! We’ve already had major success applying what we’ve learned and engaging the the executive team on our new DEI roadmap.”

–Corinna, Head of People

“Before the trainings, there was a lot of enthusiasm for DEI but not a lot of action. But in the last 6 months, we got so much done.

These trainings were critical to helping our team level up how we speak about, and take action on DEI.”

–David, VP of Community

It can be difficult to find real talk in the D&I space, but the Inclusion At Work method is creative and bold, while being rooted in empathy and sensitivity.”

–Steven, Head of DEI

“This strategy has been incredibly helpful for building our grassroots DEI program.”

–Emma, Ops Manager
