A Note from Our CEO

“The DOJ’s memo takes a hard look at any workplace training that classifies people based on sex or race. At Emtrain, we’re very intentional about how we approach these topics. We take a clinical, balanced view of workplace conflict and avoid villainizing any one group. Our goal is to create training that fosters understanding without alienating anyone.”
