What SHIFT Clients are Saying

I recently took SHIFT’s anti-harassment training. As a DEI practitioner, I loved the examples that brought to light the experiences of people of color, women, and the LGBTQ community. Xue’s story in particular resonated with me as someone who has always had her name shorted to Nat “because it’s easier” than Natalia.

I also enjoyed the assessments where you as a participant make decisions on the best outcome and learn why one choice may be more effective than another. Overall this is so well done, and I found the content relevant and engaging. Please share my note of appreciation with the team who developed this content.

In my opinion, harassment training is all the same, boring and uninspired. However, after seeing this training program, I am thoroughly impressed. It’s current and engaging and nothing like what I’ve ever seen before.

“Best product ever. So easy to use and great for our managers managing multiple states.”

Your attention to detail and follow-up was key in ensuring the rollout of our training was a success. The time you spent going through the demos and explaining the contracts and timelines was appreciated and actually enjoyable. Your continued involvement after the contract was signed is what I valued the most though. I have worked with other companies before where this was not the case. SHIFT definitely stands apart from the rest.

I completed the course and really appreciate the quality of the training. The last exercises on real life cases were very close to situations that I would expect to encounter and this was really helpful. We need more of these types of training!

We had a great experience working with SHIFT. They took the time to understand our culture and were very responsive and flexible to make sure that the training met the needs of our organization, both eLearning and on-site. The feedback that we received about the live training from our senior leaders was very positive.

I am very pleased with the decision to use SHIFT’s Preventing Workplace Harassment and Discrimination Training. I believe online training of this caliber is something which all businesses should consider because of its ease and effectiveness.
