In an increasingly interconnected world, organizations must prioritize creating inclusive environments that support diverse perspectives. Despite substantial financial investments in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, current bias training programs yield minimal results and can even exacerbate biases. To address these shortcomings, we propose the GROW model—a four-component iterative strategy designed to enhance global bias training. The GROW model includes: Grasping individual differences by recognizing and valuing diverse backgrounds; Reforming habits by breaking the cycle of biased responses through cognitive restructuring; Optimizing distinctiveness by balancing the need for belonging and individuality; and attaining Wisdom through applied learning by applying experiential techniques to practice inclusive behaviors. We explore each component in detail, demonstrating how they can be implemented within global organizations. We then provide an example of a practical application of the GROW approach. By adopting the GROW model, organizations can move beyond ineffective bias training to create actionable and sustainable strategies for enhancing DEI efforts.
