Love the page! Awareness of these programs is very important for getting SUPPORT to members of under-represented groups (I certainly have benefited from LOTS MYSELF!)

When it comes to implementing change within businesses, I have had many a conversation in my career about both the why and how of DEI (fair enough: we're all busy, and it can be hard to know where to start)

These are some points I use to explain the relevance to management and get funding for structural changes

Hello, first of all thanks for your time and interest in this repository. This project shows and makes visible non-profit communities that volunteer and provide free training to their community, for which I appreciate the mention of programs designed for companies. and events for the public of Lifelabslearning, but I consider that it does not coincide with the main objective of the project.
However, Resource for allies is a section that I had not considered and I think it is a great contribution.

## Why does it matter to you?
Put shortly:
- If you advertise jobs - [the wording you use impacts who applies](https://www.glassdoor.com/employers/blog/10-ways-remove-gender-bias-job-listings/) (great candidates might be self-excluding).
- If you hire candidates - [the techniques you use impact who gets through](https://hbr.org/2017/06/7-practical-ways-to-reduce-bias-in-your-hiring-process) (you might not hire or promote the best candidates).
- If you intend to retain employees - [the culture of your organisation impacts who wants to stay](https://leanin.org/women-in-the-workplace-report-2022/were-in-the-midst-of-a-great-breakup) (including genuine inclusion of diversity and equitable opportunities).

## Outsource!
It can be hard to know where to start, but you're not the first in wanting to implment a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion program.

Trainers such as LifeLabs run sessions to highlight ways de-biasing improves your interview process (and how to do it at your company).
Get a program designed for your company [here](https://home.lifelabslearning.com/dei-programs), or attend an event for the public such as [this one](https://lifelabslearning.com/course/inclusive-interviewing-december-8-10-12pm-et/).

I'm not sure of the purpose of this section. Could you explain me?
