Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Training

Diverse perspectives are proven to increase a team’s innovation, creativity and overall performance as long as inclusion is a priority.

This simulation is best run over the course of a single day (typically within six hours, depending on the size of the group) in teams of 3 players each. Equity, Diversity and Inclusion training delivered in an engaging, memorable format that allows learners to uncover their own biases and discover the benefits of diverse teams.

Unconscious Bias & Beyond

In this simulation, participants are presented with a series of HR-related scenarios via short video, each with four possible responses based on the Radical Candor (Kim Scott) framework. Feedback and additional resources provide discussion points for robust debrief sessions. As a result, the debrief sessions discover unconscious biases participants were often unaware of.

In addition, throughout the simulation, learners wrestle with decisions around increasing the company’s profitability, attracting and retaining talent and investing for the future.

Team Manager Simulation
The scenarios embedded within the simulation are selected from a pool of issues that address race, gender and age discrimination. Scenarios from specific industries or organizations are easily incorporated into the simulation.

The simulation is designed to facilitate rich dialog among teams of diverse employees. We recommend a D&I expert (ideally from your company, though we have partners we can connect with you) facilitate the simulation debrief sessions.

Our system may be deployed live or virtually, run over the course of a half- or full-day (recommended as debrief sessions tend to include complicated subject matters).
