Lila Kelly Associates Launches Exclusive Online Training on Diversity in Employment Interviewing

St. Paul, MN (BlackNews.com) - Lila Kelly Associates, a training and consulting firm working with diversity and hiring strategies since 1992, has launched an online training program which provides the missing link between diversity recruitment and retention.

Diversity in Employment Interviewing provides both educational and technical tools for integrating diversity into the employment selection process. The diversity elements of the program include ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, age, and size. This is the only such program that allows interviewers to learn what diverse applicants are thinking and feeling about organizations like theirs during the recruiting and hiring process.

This online training program readily identifies barriers that can cause employers to lose qualified diverse applicants, and presents a variety of ways to overcome those barriers.

The program consists of 11 total lessons, including topics such as:

* Cultural competencies integrated into basic interviewing skills
* Issues of bias, prejudice, and cultural misunderstandings from applicants' perspectives
* How to develop inclusive and structured interview questions

Video clips and quotes from diverse applicants make this engaging and interactive program come alive. These clips and quotes come from real people discovered through Kelly's research -- these are not invented quotes or videos of actors using a script. Interview scenarios, case studies, and quizzes keep the learner engaged and involved throughout the program.

Roni, a Senior Recruiter for Metro Banking, said, "Being a recruiter, a diversity class facilitator, and a trainer for behavioral based interviewing, I found your online training to be all-inclusive. I found it to be very interesting and helpful – you certainly didn't miss anything!"

Becky, a Vice President of Human Resources, stated, "This is basic common sense training that can be put to use immediately by anyone or any company that goes through the course. Good, real life examples and videos help drive the message home not just from the interviewer's perspective, but most importantly from the applicant's point of view."

Maxine, an HR Consultant, stated, "I have participated in other online training programs and found this one to be superior to the others in more than one way...It caused me to think more deeply about the many facets of culturally diverse interviewing and caused me to be more open to the techniques that were taught later in the course. I would recommend this course to any HR practitioner, hiring manager, or anyone who conducts interviews in the course of their work."

This unique program will help organizations train staff to diversify their workforce, avoid employment discrimination lawsuits, and meet Affirmative Action goals.
