Diverse Customer: Inclusion Products: Dive-In Cards: The Diversity Teambuilding Game; Game-based Learning in DEI

on

Gamification of Diversity Training is increasingly becoming a necessary component in engaging a diverse workforce in these unprecedented times. Engagement is the key whether it's digital or in-person. 

I remember in early 2019 when the game-based learning concept to deliver corporate and diversity training was just beginning to catch up, I was invited by a client in San Francisco to develop the concept of an UNCONSCIOUS BIAS GAMING APP. The client wanted a global rollout focused on Unconscious Bias (UB)- designing, implementing workshops, and training including content. Ideally to be achieved with a mix of Classroom/Offline (In-Person) Online (Virtual Training) and an e-learning system to train my clients’ 70,000+ employees globally on UB essentials and imparting a deep understanding of the subject and dealing with biases at workplace keeping in mind challenges of the difference of cultures, languages, and customs and how it reflects on UB and how UB is perceived regionally, geographically and at a global level. The challenge was to run a program in eLearning and classroom format that was easy to run, scale-up and push more employees through the training faster and more efficiently globally and ensure that the thrust towards game-based learning ensures a high level of engagement on an ongoing basis while varied but essential Diversity concepts to be introduced to keep the momentum on digital-physical inclusion going forward.

That was the time, I also decided to focus on diversity products that augmented inclusion in the most engaging and innovative ways. This blog is a product of that decision. Know more about me: Amit Anand, Editor @ Diverse Customer.

The game is a perfect tool for your internal workshops, team-buildings, onboarding of new employees, or I&D training, comes loaded with an online version that can be a great tool for online teambuilding during work from home mode. With DIVE-IN, you will open a discussion on the topic of inclusion and diversity, point out its importance in society, and learn a number of interesting facts and suggestions on how to solve various model situations.
