Inclusive Language Services
Worthwhile is on the leading edge of inclusive language theory and education. We draw on decades of original research on language and bias, and offer actionable insights not found anywhere else.
Our clients hire us for:
1. Inclusive language training that improves inclusive language fluency and gives high-impact substitutions.
2. Inclusive language audits of materials, including websites, job postings, and guides for hiring managers.
3. Inclusive language assessments that help you learn your teams’ skill levels, awareness, and areas of weakness.
Anti-Bias Training
Our anti-bias training is data-driven, based on rigorous social science, and uses 100% real-world examples.
We present material neutrally, and do not “blame and shame” people. Participants are never forced to “perform their pain” or talk about negative experiences in order to educate others. We understand that people come from different knowledge bases and experiences, and design our training accordingly.
Our workshops upskill learners so they can diagnose and discuss problems on their own.
Consulting on DEIB and Workplace Culture
Clients come to us looking to improve their workplace culture. Decades of studies have shown that a more inclusive workplace improves team dynamics, amplifies innovation, and increases revenue.
Popular offerings include DEIB and Employee Experience audits, collaborative DEIB action plans, and the creation and implementation of “bias interrupters.”
Inclusive Leadership
Effective anti-bias work begins at the top.
To be an inclusive leader, you need a strong anti-bias skill set: the ability to accurately identify bias; the ability to speak knowledgeably and perceptively about bias; and the ability to craft and implement real anti-bias innovations. We guide leaders into this anti-bias skill set. Our inclusive leadership offerings include briefings, workshops, master classes, and strategy sessions.
Sexual Harassment Prevention Training
Our clients asked us to create an anti-harassment training that was California compliant and grounded in DEI frameworks. So we did.
Worthwhile has paired with Nuddleman Law to create a genuinely useful anti-harassment training. We teach people the foundational principles underlying harassment and discrimination. We give the historical and social context for protected classes. And we provide actionable insights that can be implemented immediately.
AI and NLP Collaborations
Worthwhile partners with computer scientists to provide a social science component for AI and NLP projects and for computational social science research.
We create project-specific ontological categories, develop theoretical frameworks, develop social simulation models, and provide analytics to establish ground truth test sets. In addition, we can provide data validation for gold standard data through social science methods such as interviews and surveys. Worthwhile has been a performer on multi-year federally funded research projects.
