If so, what was it and did you find it valuable?

This is something being considered for our workplace, but just wanted to hear others experiences with it. What did you feel you gained from it, if anything?

And if you're workplace aren't doing it do you think they should be?

Mandatory online and written by and for Americans. Largely irrelevant in an EMEA context. I was amused that some parts of it had to be cut out for our ME offices.

What are they like?
What do they talk about?

I had to correct them when I last did it.

I'm retired now thankfully. So never again do I have to sit through it.

Yes, we are a large company and do this regularly. We are 75% men and most is focussed on the issues women go through. It’s also a predominantly white company and able bodied, so there is a big focus on those that are not. It’s well received and as an initial sceptic I have completely changed my mind and I can see the massive changes in the last 10 yrs

Yes but I work for a university so it's pretty standard.

Yes online trsinj g every year. Its very bland. Id like to see some videos from people who hVe experiened abuse due to the above and how it hss affected their lives. That would make it more real.

Yes mandatory training. Waste of time like most corporate training is.

My old workplace did but there was almost nothing on women and disabled people who are the most discriminated groups in the world and most underrepresented in boardrooms and management positions.

Yup - I run it for the larger team - we are a big company, about 9-10k of us - It’s ok - hit and miss. Some people buy into it - some don’t care one bit. I think it’s positive.
