Domain Group Rollout
The Problem
Understanding the importance of its human capital and culture, Domain wanted to drive Diversity and Inclusion into the DNA of the company. Domain requested Equal Reality’s help to evoke emotion and empathy, establish a common understanding, and drive behaviour change and personal accountability.
The Solution
Equal Reality collaborated with mwah to run workshops with Domain’s 643 employees. Domain employees experienced what its like to be bullied, and the subject of abuse of power. Our VR technology increased empathy, and deepened employee’s connection to the DEI learning topics.
Ultimately, the workshops increased participant’s personal accountability and drove effective behaviour change. Additionally, 95% of participants enjoyed the VR experience.

More Info
“The response from participants has been excellent – with
participants in the program able to empathise and discuss the
experiences of our scenarios in our workshops with detail that just
wouldn’t be possible without actually experiencing it themselves. I
don’t think role plays will ever cut it again in this space.”
