Despite the best of intentions, gender statistics have gone from bad to worse over the past decades. Some people even question: “Is it fair to hold companies responsible for fixing inequity that is so deeply rooted into our society?”. Whether fair or not is beside the point. As business leaders, we must care about attracting the best possible talent for our companies, and if we exclude certain groups based on gender, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, etc., we will not be competitive. Instead, we must find new ways of approaching the problem. Getting rid of unconscious bias.

A reader writes: I’m starting a business graduate program now and all of the administrators are practically giddy proclaiming, “There’s going to be a lot of group work! Just like the real business world!”. I’ve always struggled with group work because I’m a (recovering) perfectionist and was the type of kid who dominated group projects and only allowed my groupmates to do token pieces. I’ve worked to reduce this tendency and I know that other people have strengths that I don’t but as soon as the pressure is on, I start getting twitchy about other people being “slackers.”. Anyway.

Most trainers and teachers have heard of blended learning. Perhaps you yourself have tried to incorporate it into your training programs. Still, the term has been used so much that it frequently gets misused. Once one understands what blended learning really is, it becomes a lot easier to see its benefits, and to recognize vendors that are actually offering true value, as opposed to a buzzword. The idea is that computer-mediated instruction is added to, or combined with, more personal face-to-face instruction. It reduces training costs. It offers 24/7 access to training. Learner options.
