With our project we want to create a greater awareness in the workplace of SMEs and to give at the employees the power to be protagonist of their workplace. Thanks to our training managers and HRs could have a better knowledge about the importance of a culture of D&I and so the employees became important protagonist of their workplace. The point of view of the workers could be part of the change: step by step. During the implementation of AI4DI we have understand that about the themes of diversity and inclusion the small and medium companies have to work hard and training to improve their knowledge. At this moment manager need to be accompany in this field because they often don’t have the instruments to understand the value of diversity. With our project we are proud to have had a contribute to this change. We think that thanks also to the videos of training course and the App other managers, Hrs, or companies that train managers could approach the D&I and they could have a support to make the first steps into these themes. Our project will give them the possibilities to have a specific and free course and so they could understand if they are work in a right direction to improve D&I in their workplace

In our project, we implemented several activities aimed at raising awareness and training managers and HR professionals on the topic of diversity and inclusion (D&I) in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The main activities were: 1. Creation of a specific training course: We developed a training program that included educational modules focused on the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace. 2. Production of multimedia content: We produced a series of training videos to support and reinforce the concepts covered during the course. These videos were designed to be clear and easy to understand, with the aim of reaching a broad audience within SMEs. 3. Development of an application with artificial intelligence (AI): The app we created was an innovative tool for collecting anonymous feedback from employees, facilitating engagement and monitoring the company's atmosphere concerning diversity and inclusion. 4. Interactive workshop and webinar sessions Thanks to these activities, the project provided practical tools and knowledge to promote a cultural change in SMEs, facilitating the adoption of inclusive policies that could bring long-term benefits to both employees and the companies themselves.

Our project achieved several concrete outputs and impactful results: 1. Training program and resources: We successfully developed and delivered a complete D&I training program tailored to SMEs. This included educational modules and video content 2. AI-based app: We launched an easy-to-use application that integrates AI to collect anonymous feedback from employees, providing data to managers. This tool has simplified the process of assessing workplace culture and employee satisfaction related to diversity and inclusion. 3. Workshops and webinars: We organized interactive sessions to discuss about D&I 4. Employee engagement: One of the key results was the increased engagement of employees in shaping their workplace culture. The anonymous feedback tool empowered workers to voice their opinions and participate in decision-making. 5. Awareness and behavior change: We observed a shift in awareness and behavior among participating companies, with managers and HR professionals gaining a deeper understanding of D&I. 6. Replication and scalability: The training resources and app we created are scalable and can be used by other SMEs or organizations interested in improving diversity and inclusion in their workplace.
