Online Public Training
-
Vendors offer many online training programs on a wide range of diversity topics, ranging from understanding the definition of diversity to overcoming stereotypes and discrimination. You can also learn how to design a diversity strategy for your department or understand how to prevent sexual harassment. Courses are available that suggest strategies for forestalling problems when employees must work with colleagues from other cultures and countries.
Customized Online Training
-
Whether you need harassment-prevention programs or communications techniques for a diverse workforce, consultants can tailor an online program to your needs. They can modify an existing public program to your specifications or completely build one from scratch. Self-paced online instruction can also be developed and deployed to your department or section. Hosting online learning events on your own intranet is also an option.

Meetings, DVDs and Videos
-
Additional online learning options include DVDs and videos that can be streamed to your location or department. Online meetings, hosted by an instructor, are also available. DVDs and videos offer you the opportunity to view and learn from simulated diversity scenarios. Many DVDs and videos offer options allowing your employees to view them at times convenient to their work schedule. Online meetings give your staff the opportunity to interact with the instructor and ask questions based on the course.
Selecting Your Best Option
-
Selecting your best online diversity training program begins with a careful analysis of your department's specific needs. If your need is immediate and you do not have to have department-specific concerns in your training, then a vendor-offered public workshop might be a good choice. When your need is for specific and targeted diversity training, a customized solution may be your logical choice. If interaction and discussion of diversity issues is your goal, an online meeting, hosted by an instructor, may be the best solution.
