Novations Delivers Diversity and Inclusion Online with New eLearning Modules
Asynchronous Online Learning Programs Expand Blended
Delivery Options for Clients
BOSTON, MA, July 27, 2009 —
Novations Group, Inc. (www.novations.com), a
global talent development firm, today announced the release
of online versions of two of its leading Diversity and
Inclusion training programs: Managing Inclusion™ and
Appreciating Differences™. The asynchronous
eLearning programs expand the firm’s ability to meet
growing client demand for blended training solutions and
cost-effective learning programs.
Both the Managing Inclusion and Appreciating Differences
programs have traditionally been delivered via
instructor-led classroom training. By additionally
offering these programs online, organizations have a
cost-effective solution for providing a large number of
employees access to the content and learning when they are
unable to be together for classroom training.
“The online version of these programs provides a
great opportunity for knowledge transfer,” said
Rebecca Hefter, Novations senior vice president of Product
Development and Facilitation Services. “While the
classroom still provides the strongest platform for skill
building and behavior change, we understand that investment
in those programs is not always a possibility for clients
today. These eLearning programs provide a viable
solution for exposing employees to the key content.”
Both programs feature self-paced modules delivered in an
interactive format that includes audio, graphics, and
animations to help learners understand the content and how
to apply it to their own work environment. Similar to
the classroom-based version of Managing Inclusion and
Appreciating Differences, clients have the option to
implement the standard eLearning programs or customize
them.

pressure‐free approach to exploring diversity with an

connection between diversity and inclusion and business
performance. Users follow a manager as she reviews
her team interactions and the impact of her managerial

classroom training.
