Having the ability to view how bias, prejudice, and racism can affect various individuals in different professions throughout the hospital was important to show. The only thing I wish the training touched upon further was less obvious forms of prejudice and racism that can plague a work environment. I think they tried with the social media scene, the scene with the two female employees after the male employee made the joke, and the scene where the employee interpreted that she should act more white. However, many times bias and racism can be less obvious and I think more scenes like those may help enlighten people about acts that are more unconscious.

Usually with training we only see one side. I liked how we saw things from different perspectives and saw that it took sacrifices to make changes.

I thought it was very helpful to not only have the different points of view, but to give a glimpse of how each person is really processing the situation behind the professional facade.

Sara Howard replied on

Being able to live in someone else's shoes just for a minute had a lasting effect on my point of view towards how they may respond to what has been said.

Krystal Houston replied on

Krystal, you make a great point, if we all take the time to put ourselves in someone else's shoes and contemplate the situation it gives an opportunity to reflect and respond appropriately in many situations.

I could not agree more! This training was extremely eye opening for many, and I loved how the 4 scenarios encouraged the participant to actively engage and make decisions regarding what to do next.  This should absolutely be required of all employees/employers to complete in all hospital and health care settings.
