Diversity: Beyond the Checkbox

I have taken many programs over the year for my professional certification. I've even sat through or taken online programs around the topic of D&I and unconscious bias. Hands down, this is one of the best programs I have done and I'm even more amazed that it is in a "self paced" environment. The program uses video, presentations, some text, quizes, etc. to keep the program fresh and the user engaged throughout. Kudos to the instructional design team! Also, I really enjoyed the diversity (pun in tended) in both the number and various perspectives of the speakers and SMEs used in the program. This also helped keep me engaged throughout the program. My favorites were the candid interviews with business leaders about their experience. Again, great job on the program! I look forward to other similar programs to build on this one.

Great resource for information and tools to assess personal and institutional issues surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion. The self-paced format was great for finding time to go through the course at times that worked for my schedule. The mix of multimedia formats and various speakers and narrators helped keep the content interesting.

Overall, I enjoyed this course and I was impressed by the detailed information shared surrounding DEI. I loved the blend of historical research, interviews, testimonials, statistics and various use cases throughout the course. I loved that the course touched on topics such as microaggressions, white men's role in diversity, and more that usually has a stigma attached and also offered best practices to counteract these topics in the workplace. I enjoyed the self-guided model and inclusive features of the platform like closed captions. and would also love an autoplay feature. I really appreciated the pdf documents to leverage for implementation and practice for my work moving forward. I definitely obtained some tools to be the DEI champion on my team and always think about "how we can all be apart of the solution to build a bridge for D&I".

I am incredibly impressed with the level of detail this course provides in covering Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. There was thoughtful messaging from a variety of experts in DEI that really made me stop and think about how I can be better at creating a comfortable and safe environment for everyone around me. Each module touched on an important subject, thoroughly defined the subject, broke down the science behind it, and provided ways and activities to implement change. I also liked that there was specific documentations and steps presented on how to create a pathway to DEI in the workplace. I appreciated the variety of activities during each lesson that made the time pass by. The course included presentations, videos, demonstrations, and activities to keep my mind engaged and active. There was never a moment where I thought, "Ugh...an online course." I felt this program was an incredibly valuable use of my time and I'll highly recommend it to my colleagues.

I really enjoyed reviewing this course and learned a lot. The Diversity Beyond the Checkbox team has done a great job taking a HUGE topic (and one that's intensely personal) and distilling it down into helpful and consumable segments. I would recommend this course for everybody: from a recent hire, to a seasoned executive. I took away a lot from the course and am confident that I'm in a better position to lead my team and manage my own unconscious biases.

Overall great course! The blend of video testimonials and text kept me engaged throughout. I enjoyed the flexibility to be able to complete the course at my own pace and go back and forth between modules. More importantly, though, I believe the course does a good job of not only explaining diversity, inclusion, bias, etc but also highlighting the importance of proactively understanding and approaching these things in the workplace as well as in our own personal lives. Module 2 definitely makes a good business case for why diversity and inclusion are important to furthering your business - great statistics.
