Mini-modules for managers
Last updated: November 2026
Managers practice equity by recognizing where it shows up in ordinary decisions, such as who gets information, assignments, and advocacy, and by using simple tools to act on it. CRW Diversity's Equity in Action for Managers mini-modules teach exactly this. They are short, practical, and designed for busy leaders.
Understanding the principles is the beginning. Applying them in the everyday decisions managers make is where change happens.
Equity in Action for Managers is a practical learning experience from CRW Diversity that helps managers recognize where equity shows up in their day-to-day leadership and gives them tools they can put into practice immediately. It is built on Celeste Warren's six-element Equity in Action Model.
Braintrust Growth, summarizing Gartner research, reports that managers spend about nine hours a week, more than 20% of their working time, on employees' personal and emotional concerns, and 47% say more is expected of them than a year ago.
Executives model the same language so managers see it matters.
Managers work through the short modules on their own schedule.
Each module points to a decision managers can change right away.
Look at who is getting access, advocacy, and voice on each team.
