Sheryl Sandberg says Facebook will publicly share its internal diversity training

Despite the fact that its own diversity numbers haven't moved much in the past year, Facebook has decided to publicly share its internal program for training employees on unconscious bias. Sheryl Sandberg, the company's chief operating officer and a leading advocate for women's careers, wrote that the social network is releasing its course to outsiders. The company launched a Web site that includes video modules of its training course, slides used in the presentation and a downloadable worksheet with a bulleted list of "what you can do." "Many people have asked if we'd be willing to share our training outside of Facebook," Sandberg wrote, noting that the company has worked with "leading researchers" to develop the course. "Managing bias is an essential part of building diverse and high-performing organizations. We know we still have a long way to go, but by helping people recognize and correct for bias, we can take a step towards equality."
