FAQs About Government Diversity Training Programs
What is the difference between diversity training and DEI consulting?
While Government diversity training focuses on educating employees about diversity, equity and inclusion concepts, DEI consulting involves developing strategies to promote diversity, equity and inclusion within organizations.
Government diversity training and DEI consulting can work in tandem to help you achieve your agency’s overall diversity, equity, and inclusion goals. For instance, a DEI consultant can help you identify training opportunities and strategies that will best resonate with your team.

What are some common challenges government agencies face when implementing DEI initiatives?
There are a variety of common obstacles you might face when implementing DEI initiatives at your public sector workplace.
For instance, resistance to change, limited resources, or lack of leadership buy-in can all stifle DEI strategies. Additionally, unconscious bias, lack of accountability, and ongoing systemic inequities can prove challenging.
Engaging an external firm or consultant to lead your government diversity training can help you navigate and overcome some of these hurdles. A consultant can also facilitate conversations with team members, allowing everyone to share any hesitations, roadblocks, and questions.
Forming a DEI Council can help keep momentum going. That said, remember to recognize and compensate employees for time spent on DEI-focused work activities. You can also create more focused council groups. For instance, many companies have groups such as an LGBTQ+ Council, Black Employee Resource Group, Women’s Association, Workers with Disabilities Council, and so on.
