Diversity, equity & inclusion

Inclusion is built far less in formal policy than in ordinary moments: who gets drawn into a conversation, whose idea gets built on, who feels they can speak up without rehearsing it first. Most of those moments pass unnoticed, which is exactly why they shape a team's culture so powerfully. Getting them right is a set of small, learnable habits available to everyone, not a quality reserved for the naturally thoughtful.

Why this subject matters

When inclusion is treated as a once-a-year topic rather than a daily practice, the everyday moments where it actually lives go unattended, and people on the margins of a team quietly disengage. The cost shows up as good ideas never voiced, capable people holding back, and a narrower range of thinking than the team actually contains. None of this comes from ill intent; it comes from habits running on autopilot.

This is genuinely hard because the moments that matter are small, fast, and easy to miss: the interruption, the assumption, the meeting where the same three voices fill the room. Most people were never shown what inclusive behaviour looks like at that granular, in-the-moment level, only the high-level principle. That gap between principle and practice is where good intentions stall.

It matters on every team, and especially diverse, distributed ones where difference is a strength only if it's actually drawn out. A short training that makes everyday inclusion concrete (what to do in the small moments) turns a value everyone agrees with into something people can actually act on.

Structure and types of content in the template

Each Eli template is a training (or engagement) program that spans one to two weeks and asks only a few minutes a day from every participant. These programs bring together three types of content: questions, memos, and actions. Questions surface employees' point of view on a subject, whether to poll them anonymously or to lead them to reconsider a habit they might have. Memos are small knowledge nuggets readable in just a few seconds, sometimes paired with an infographic or an educational video, and always followed by a quiz. Actions are concrete steps employees can adopt in their day, either together with their team or individually in the field.

Thanks to these three types of content, Eli builds an efficient, complete training cycle in which employees question, learn, and practice, all during a single training sprint, and in record time.

What makes it different from your traditional initiatives

Building and keeping a culture where everyone grows and feels at home is hard for any company, and harder still with high turnover or fast growth. The fix is a double alignment: who people are individually and as a group (culture), and what they want personally (their career) and together (your vision and mission). Individualized training skips the collective side; group workshops skip the individual one, and running both just keeps the two apart. With this template on Eli, you hit both pillars at once: personal reflection turns into team conversation, and people land on consensus they actually own instead of a vision handed down from above.

How to get the most out of it

Our templates give you an excellent starting point, but using them raw will only get you about 60% of the result you're aiming for. To really move the needle across your teams, you'll need to fine-tune them to your specific needs, your company culture, your internal policies, and more.

That's exactly what our AI agent was built for. On Eli, you can describe what you need, add any documents it requires, and our agent handles the rest.
