Booking with Access Communications means going beyond mere compliance. Our training programs leave a lasting impression on our audiences and foster cultures of respect in the workplace.

Forgoing the stale videos and tired PowerPoint presentations, Access brings professional actors right to your business. These actors dramatize real-life situations of discrimination, harassment and other business issues, while an experienced facilitator guides the audience toward compassionate understanding and effective resolutions of each scenario.

Sessions are typically 90 minutes in length and can be conducted multiple times a day (for maximum effect, it's recommended that the number of attendees per session be around 35).  Presentations will be customized to fit your organization and its particular needs.

The programs are presented with drama, humor and good taste and keep the audience of employees engaged and focused on the learning topics throughout the session. Reactions during the programs, and post-program evaluations by audience and HR staff, are consistently enthusiastic.
