Behaviorally designed training leads to more diverse hiring

Many organizations are interested in increasing the diversity of their workforce and spend millions of dollars on diversity training. Yet there is little empirical evidence that such training increases diversity in organizations. We implemented a large-scale field experiment in a global telecommunications and engineering firm (n = 10,433) testing whether behaviorally designed training increases the diversity of who is hired. In particular, the diversity training was timely (delivered immediately before hiring managers shortlisted candidates), tailored to the hiring decision, delivered by senior members of the organization, and made diversity salient. Results show that behaviorally designed diversity training can positively influence the hiring of women and non-national applicants relative to business as usual. Our findings suggest that behaviorally designed diversity training can work to change the diversity of hires but that its success relies on carefully considered design choices and..., , , # Behaviorally designed training leads to more diverse hiring

**Overview**

The program (Stata do-files) for “Behaviorally designed training leads to diversity hiring” by Arslan, Chang, Chilazi, Bohnet, and Hauser, published in *Science* (2025).

The program files run all the code to import raw data files (xlsx, csv), clean and generate the data (in dta format), prepare the data for the analysis, run the regression analyses, export output, and thus generate tables presented in the paper. The replicator should expect the code to run for up to 15 minutes.

**Data Availability and Sharing**

The organizational data used in this manuscript is of a proprietary nature. We, the authors of the manuscript, have legitimate access to and permission to use the data, but we are unable to make the data publicly available due to a strict data use agreement with our field partner (global telecommunications and engineering company).
