Sesame Place to Initiate Diversity, Inclusion Training Following Racial Discrimination Allegations and Lawsuit
Sesame Place plans to take initiatives to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace following multiple racial discrimination allegations and a lawsuit.
According to a release sent to WHYY News, Sesame Place intends to conduct a racial equity assessment to review policies, processes, and practices that “impact guests, employees, suppliers, and the community to identify opportunities for improvement.” Engagement with key stakeholders will be included in the assessment.
By the end of September, employees will participate in training focusing on methods to address bias, promote inclusion, and prevent discrimination. The training will eventually become part of the onboarding process for new employees.
