Try some questions from the course

Question 1 of 3

Six people heard the comment and nobody spoke. What is the most accurate takeaway?

 

Silence is noticed. One small move from a bystander can change how the person feels.

Lesson 1, Why this matters, teaches this. See the outline

Question 2 of 3

Which statement is an opinion about a policy rather than a personal attack?

 

Policy opinions are allowed. Comments aimed at a colleague's or customer's race, origin or status are the line.

Lesson 2, What it sounds like, teaches this. See the outline

Question 3 of 3

You froze when a colleague made a xenophobic remark. What is the best next step?

 

It is never too late to check in. Delay still counts.

Lesson 3, The 5Ds, teaches this. See the outline
