Bystander Education Course on Racism
I believe that this course is an important step in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within our workplace. Learning to recognize and confront racial bias can create a more inclusive and respectful environment for all employees.
The course is open to all employees, regardless of their role or level within the organization. I strongly encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to learn and grow as we work together to combat racism in our workplace and beyond.

This was refreshingly accurate in terms of scenarios that happen every day. I hope this continues and hope more people are able to feel more comfortable speaking up in certain situations.

Thought provoking
I appreciate how realistic the scenarios were in the videos. The characters felt like real people in the workplace and I also appreciated how they represented a range of professions, positions and cultures. Thank you for putting this together so thoughtfully.

I appreciated the ways in
I appreciated the ways in which microaggressions were highlighted and directly addressed, as well as the featured content on institutional challenges with utilizing Spanish-speaking providers as translators. I found myself wondering how realistic it would be for employees who have been confronted to respond with the same level of thoughtfulness that the actors portrayed. It might be useful to have more in-person training within programs on how to best address and respond to microaggressions when they occur. These kinds of conversations need to happen within close working relationships, and there can be a lot of value in real-life practice with this.

I agree that change must start with me and this should cascade to everyone that I interact with and that other employees must feel free to confide in me

I found it very difficult to watch these videos. Although it is acting and it is purposely providing micro-aggressions, being educated, I found that these micro-aggressions were not at all, "micro." I will never be able to understand my peers experiences thoroughly as I am a white woman, but it is because of these interactive videos that I can be aware of the things that people say around me or anything I may subconsciously say, may have a huge impact on my neighbor. Overall, I found the videos very engaging and well done.

Very Relevant to MGB
I am very glad to see this type of anti-racism training geared to a hospital setting. Many of the scenarios are unfortunately similar to situations I have seen or heard of in the Boston hospital community.
