Course Description

Diversity is essential to the future growth and health of an organization, making up the foundational culture and productivity within the workplace. Equity is woven into the culture of the organization through policy, practice, and position. Inclusion focuses on power and voice, and highlights your organization’s culture and belonging strengthens the individual’s connection to the organization. The combination of all four; Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging, conveys to the outside world that your organization values its employees and customers. When these elements are aligned properly to one another, your organization can attract high performing talent—individuals who are creative, innovative difference makers—who can in turn drive your bottom line to the ceiling.
