NRBP is committed to promoting equity in the workplace. Since 2018 we have worked toward establishing a strong Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiative to engage our membership, provide opportunities for learning, and encourage activities and policy change which would result in increased workplace equity, inclusion, and diversity. We are excited to launch this affordable series of experiential DEI courses, produced by SHIFT HR Compliance Training, which will provide participants with the opportunity to explore important DEI concepts at their own pace.

Upon completion of the courses, participants will have a strong foundational awareness of DEI topics, increased empathy for diverse groups, and an understanding of critical topics that could negatively impact the workplace. This package of four courses is appropriate for all companies, no matter the industry, and for employees at all levels of an organization. Participants will have continued access to the courses until June 6, 2022, providing an excellent opportunity for reflection and repeat participation.

Courses include interactive activities and real-world scenarios which call upon the participant to put themselves in the shoes of the main character described in each situation. NRBP staff completed each of the below courses and found the experience to be informative, engaging, and helpful to our professional and personal growth.

Course availability is very limited, sign up now!

The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion E-Learning On-Deamand consists of the following packge of four courses:

Unconscious Bias in the Workplace (30 minutes)

This online training course introduces managers to the important concept of Unconscious Bias and explores the impact of such biases on their work environment. Awareness-building activities and real-life scenarios help the learner understand that we all have biases and that becoming more aware of them can make us better employees and managers. This course focuses on moving beyond awareness building and provides practical solutions for preventing bias from impacting critical workplace decisions related to hiring and managing employees. Real-life interactive scenarios provide practical experience in making conscious decisions to move beyond bias.

Building Employee Inclusion and Promoting an Upstander Culture (20 minutes)

As workplaces become more diverse and we regularly interact with colleagues from an increasing variety of backgrounds, it’s important to be mindful of the important role every person plays in creating an inclusive environment where all employees feel included, supported and valued; improve the quality of workplace interactions and decisions; encourage employees to become Upstanders; identity and practice tools to increase team productivity, innovation, and morale.

Creating A Culture of Civility and Respect in the Workplace (15 minutes)

Employees appreciate working in an environment that is comfortable, inclusive, and free of inappropriate conduct and disrespectful behavior. The goal of this online training course is to present the expectations of organizational leadership to uphold a positive and productive workplace and to remind employees to carefully consider their everyday words and actions. Real-world situations and practical examples of positive behavior are given as well as tips and tactics to show employees how to take appropriate steps to point out and correct incivility when they see it.

Transgender Inclusion in the Workplace (15 minutes)

The EEOC and many states’ employment laws interpret Title VII of the Civil Rights Act to include discrimination protections for transgender individuals. As a result, companies and their employees cannot discriminate based on gender identity. This course provides learners with an understanding of the issues related to gender identity and transgender rights in the workplace. Learners are provided with an opportunity to learn and practice how they can create an inclusive workplace environment that is respectful of everyone, including their transgender colleagues and customers.
