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.
