Product Description
TRAIN-THE-TRAINER PROGRAM
Integrating Diversity & Inclusion into the Hiring Process
The Train-The-Trainer Program allows you to bring this training in-house for your hiring managers, interviewers and recruiters. It is designed to have Certified Trainers use one or more of our online training modules in the blended learning format with their learners, or in a manner tailored to their needs and specified in the agreement.
The online training portion of this program provides ample examples of unconscious bias and how it appears in the interview and hiring process. The in-person workshop helps trainers recognize areas of bias in their hiring team and practices, explore ways to take the learning to a deeper level, and discuss methods to move the learning to action and create a more inclusive and equitable hiring process.
This program includes videos and quotes from diverse applicants, based on Lila Kelly’s qualitative research and 25+ years of experience in this area, along with activity and quiz questions to get discussions started. Trainers participate in discussions about sensitive topics that can arise in diversity-related conversations and learn ways to navigate those conversations.

Integrating Diversity & Inclusion into the Hiring Process
Three Main Modules:
This comprehensive three-module program includes race/ethnicity, disability and sexual orientation diversity.
MODULE ONE: IDENTIFYING UNCONSCIOUS BIAS AS A POTENTIAL BARRIER FOR DIVERSE APPLICANTS
This first module defines bias and culture and identifies unconscious bias related to cultural diversity at both the individual and system levels. It presents numerous examples of bias from diverse perspectives and explores ways systemic bias can exist in an interview team and the hiring process. Methods are presented to help interviewers eliminate bias and lift barriers for individuals of diverse backgrounds. It consists of lessons 1-4.
Lesson 1: Identifying Bias in the Interview Process
Lesson 2: Moving Bias to a Conscious Level
Lesson 3: Eliminating Bias on the Interview Team
Lesson 4: Lifting Barriers for Diverse Applicants Caused by Unconscious Bias
MODULE TWO: STRATEGIES FOR INTEGRATING CULTURAL COMPETENCIES INTO THE INTERVIEW PROCESS
This module defines the skills and cultural competencies needed for interviewing and hiring diverse applicants. Methods are discussed for integrating diversity and cultural competencies into the interviewer’s style and the structure of the interview process. It examines interviewers’ expected responses to commonly asked interview questions that may go unmet due to unconscious bias, and explores alternative methods for asking inclusive interview questions. It consists of lessons 5-8.
Lesson 5: Skills and Cultural Competencies for Interviewing
Lesson 6: Integrating Diversity into the Interviewer’s Style
Lesson 7: Integrating Cultural Competencies into the Structure of the Interview Process
Lesson 8: Developing Structured and Inclusive Interview Questions
MODULE THREE: POTENTIALLY SENSITIVE INTERVIEW SITUATIONS AND HOW TO HANDLE THEM
Module Three is designed to help interviewers avoid uncomfortable diversity-related interview situations, as well as discrimination and potential legal trouble. This course reviews sensitive information that should not be discussed in interviews, but sometimes is anyway (perhaps initiated by the applicant). It examines diversity-related questions that applicants may ask, appropriate responses for interviewers to provide, and methods for interviewers to address diversity during an interview. Participants gain additional insights from diverse applicants related to the work environment and interviewers’ behaviors for creating a more effective and welcoming interview process for all applicants. It consists of lessons 9-11.
Lesson 9: Illegal Questions and Other Potential Problem Situations
Lesson 10: Addressing Diversity During an Interview
Lesson 11: Additional Tips & Suggestions from Diverse Applicants
Mini Modules:
These shorter modules include key lessons from the three main modules and focus mainly on racial/ethnic diversity.
MOVING UNCONSCIOUS BIAS TO A CONSCIOUS LEVEL
Identifies unconscious bias related to cultural diversity at both the individual and system levels. It presents numerous examples of bias from diverse perspectives and explores ways systemic bias can exist in an interview team and the hiring process. Methods are presented to help interviewers eliminate bias and lift barriers for individuals of diverse backgrounds.
It contains a portion of the material from Lessons 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the longer Integrating D&I into the Hiring Process Program – Module One, with a focus on racial/ethnic diversity.
CULTURAL COMPETENCIES AND SKILLS FOR INTERVIEWING
Defines cultural competencies and skills necessary for interviewers and hiring managers to develop inclusive interviewing practices. Methods are discussed for integrating diversity and cultural competencies into the interviewer’s style and the structure of the interview process. It will help interviewers see beyond their biases and cultural misunderstandings to evaluate applicants on their true skills, knowledge, and abilities, and react appropriately if an applicant unexpectedly discloses sensitive personal information.
It contains a portion of the material from Lessons 5 and 6 in the longer Integrating D&I into the Hiring Process Program – Module Two, with a focus on racial/ethnic diversity.
HOW TO ASK INCLUSIVE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
Examines interviewers’ expected responses to commonly asked interview questions that may go unmet due to unconscious bias, reasons why these questions might be difficult for diverse applicants to answer, and explores alternative methods for asking more inclusive interview questions. Guidelines are presented for ways interviewers can help diverse applicants feel more welcomed and comfortable during the interview, which in turn will allow interviewers to obtain more complete responses to their questions.
It contains material mainly from Lesson 8, and examples from Lessons 7 and 9, of the longer Integrating D&I into the Hiring Process Program – Modules Two and Three.
