On-demand e-Learnings
Introducing Interactive DEI E-Learnings! 🎉
If gathering a large group of participants simultaneously is challenging due to varying shifts or different geographical locations, consider the benefits of providing on-demand e-learnings that your staff can access from their own computers or devices.
Introducing my first two on-demand e-learnings that learners can access from any device:
-
Reducing Bias in Performance Evaluations and
-
Reducing Bias in Interviews
Created in the highly interactive and visually stunning Rise 360 software, learners can complete each of these courses at their own speed in approximately 20-30 minutes. Each course includes interactive elements like matching exercises, flashcard, and knowledge checks to ensure the participant is learning the content in an engaging way. Learners are encouraged to take these courses just before conducting an interview or completing a performance evaluation when the learnings are top of mind.
At the end of both courses, learners download a comprehensive checklist that captures the content of the course for use in future interviews or performance evaluations.
[Detailed descriptions of both courses are at the bottom of this page.]

Reducing Bias in Interviews: overview of the
e-learning
Despite our best intentions of participating in candidate interviews with the best intentions of hiring talent that will bring diverse perspectives and talents to our organizations, our our implicit biases regularly insert themselves into our interviews and disrupt these best-laid plans. In this course, we explore numerous ways to identify and minimize the impact of implicit biases when you interview candidates.
This self-guided, interactive e-learning covers:
Lesson 1: What is implicit bias? This lesson provides a deep dive into implicit bias.
Lesson 2: Biases that commonly appear in interviews: this lesson explores the myriad implicit biases that can creep into our interviews of candidates, including the similarity bias, confirmation bias; and the horn and halo effects. We also explore how our assumptions about what constitutes “appropriate” behavior or appearance, based on our own cultural lens, can interfere with objective decision making.
Lesson 3: Steps to reduce bias in interviews: this lesson provides detailed guidance on the many practical steps we can take to minimize the frequency and impact of these biases, including breaking down the critical steps to take before the interview even begins and techniques to utilize during the actual interview.
Lesson 4: Steps to take after concluding the interview: This lesson recommends different standardized evaluation techniques and prompts that evaluators can ask to determine whether bias has inappropriately interfered with any hiring decisions.
Lesson 5: Checklist and takeaways: this lesson provides a comprehensive, downloadable checklist that captures the course’s content for learners’ use with future interviews as well as links to additional resources.
Reducing Bias in Performance Evaluations: overview of the
e-learning
Implicit biases regularly creep into our performance evaluations, resulting in biased and unfair evaluations that, in turn, may lead to employee disengagement and even departures. In this course, we will identify myriad biases that interfere with objective performance evaluations and explore ways to interrupt these biases so that we complete these reviews in as neutral and unbiased a way as possible.
