The Inclusion in Action eLearning course was designed to teach and inspire participants to practice 9 Inclusive Skills so that they can communicate and collaborate more effectively across differences of race, ethnicity, culture, gender, age, language, and others.

The Skills can be easily integrated into your Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion training curriculum, or, they can be used as foundational guidelines for DEI and general HR initiatives. These skills not only interrupt common patterns of thought and behavior, but also provide new ways of thinking, speaking, and acting to encourage greater openness and transparency, increasing collaboration and success.

Awards: Inclusion in Action has been recognized with a prestigious Brandon Hall Excellence Award for Best Inclusion and Diversity Strategy. The e-Learning course received a Telly Award and was just honored as the winner of the 2020 Diversity and Inclusion Initiative of the Year by the U.S. Insurance Awards.

The 9 Skills for Inclusion are taught through compelling film-quality video scenarios that help people anchor the content in realistic stories. Each scenario is thoroughly debriefed with an engaging activity.

The course is divided into 9 Modules, one for each of the 9 Skills. Each Module uses a realistic video scenario to illustrate how the skill can be used to put inclusion into action, or what happens when we are not inclusive, and how it needs to be used next time! Each module also includes activities and exercises to ground the learning. There is a 10th Module at the end for review and reflection. We recommend that learners take one Module at a time as opposed to powering through the entire course. There is a PDF takeaway handout that can be downloaded at the end of each Module.

"Inclusion in Action eLearning not only brings attention to inclusion as a necessary leadership skill, it teaches skills that everyone in an organization can learn and practice. Best of all, the vignettes are realistic and really grab your attention." Gerry Fernandez, President and Founder. Multicultural Foodservice & Hospitality Alliance (MFHA)

"These 9 Skills are game changers. We can find talented people and bring them in, but if we don't create an environment where we hear every single voice then what good does it do us if we're not going to listen to them? And the only way for us to listen and hear is for us to be inclusive of everyone's style, their thoughts." Myrna L. Estrada, SVP, Field Executive, Central Region, Liberty Mutual

"This interactive, skills-based eLearning program is powerful, both in content and methodology. Inclusion in Action's modular format provides flexibility. You can concentrate the learning for quick impact. Or roll it out over time, progressively building communication and collaboration skills while supporting a consistent Inclusion message in your organization." Leslie Aguilar, CEO, Diversity and Inclusion Center, Author, Ouch! That Stereotype Hurts
