Our team of 40 shares a common goal: to re-imagine the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA) for the betterment of athletes and fans. Diversity and inclusion is a key priority for our organization. We wanted to engage our employees in meaningful conversations about embracing it and integrating it at a deeper level. We are a small company and wanted a custom program, specific to our culture, needs, and goals.



Our Diversity and Inclusion Education and Awareness session was facilitated by Training & Development Solutions during the summer of 2020. It was engaging and enlightening, and gave our team opportunities to connect and interact – which was especially important since most of us are working remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to learning about diversity and inclusion opportunities and practices, the program helped our employees see that we are investing in their growth and professional development. And, they appreciated it.

I anticipate we will partner with Training & Development Solutions for additional programs in 2021. Our trainer, James Parker, was very knowledgeable and well-received by our team. It was clear he wanted us to get the most we possibly could out of our session. It opened a door for our team to discuss company and cultural issues openly and with focus on positive changes and increased awareness. An aware staff is always a better staff!
