The American Dream Experience (TADE) is not an ordinary training, but rather an interactive empathy-building board game. Designed to foster awareness and connection, participants get the opportunity to participate in this "perspective-taking" exercise and explore how everyday interactions and long-term opportunities impact people and their pursuit of the American Dream differently.
Learning Objectives:
- Raise awareness about how people experience life differently based on society's perception of their identities.
- Identify behaviors that one may not be aware of that could be contributing to an environment that isn't inclusive to others.
- Empower Human Resources professionals with tools to effectively foster an inclusive environment through their impact on policies, hiring, and overall organizational culture.
