We Understand The Challenge
Has Your Inclusion Training Failed to Stick?
If you are committed to building inclusive teams —as an Inclusion Leader or Advisor, you may find it a challenge to find the right program or partnership that can implement the strategy you need. We know standard training programs are outdated or unable to sustain interest long enough to drive real change.
We understand it can be a challenge to establish a truly inclusive environment, you may face resistance to change, lack of understanding and resource constraints that can hinder your progress.
Low Team Engagement
No Real World Application
Lack of Empathy
No Sense of Belonging
Low Team Engagement
Most Inclusion training rely on passive learning, teams sitting through hours of lectures, clicking through slides often fails to engage. Your team maybe uncomfortable with the subject, indifferent, overstretched or simply burnt out.
No Real World Application
Employees often struggle to connect with others due to the nature of their work, or apply concepts and techniques learnt in their day-to-day tasks.
Lack of Empathy
Conventional training fails to truly capture the lived experiences of marginalized individuals. Your team maybe struggling to care about the wellbeing of others in their team, or have compassion fatigue.
No Sense of Belonging
Standard teambuilding initiatives like Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility (IDEA) training are met with disinterest. Your team may not care about their work culture, or they not be one that exists.

PlayNicely™ offers flexible, scalable learning that fits different schedules and allows employees to learn at their own pace, ensuring that inclusion, equity, diversity and accessibility education is an ongoing, dynamic process.
Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) experiences can offer your team gamified incentives to engage in real-life inclusion scenarios, such as navigating work space bias, experiencing micro-aggressions, or managing diverse teams. These scenarios foster empathy and teach practical solutions to inclusion challenges.
Leaders can gain insights and gain data driven metrics and analytics to bring data to life. As participants learn through experience, helping to cultivate empathy and better understand diverse perspectives, their progress is trackable and can lead to more insights and change.
