Diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives are hot-button topics, but are they the same? And what does “inclusion” really mean? This course presents targeted and high-involvement best practices so that managers, supervisors, and team leaders can take steps to foster a more inclusive work group. You will examine diversity in the contexts of teams and leaders, and place inclusion efforts in terms of your own business challenges. You will also complete a project in which you identify sources of inclusion, align inclusion with improving employee engagement and business results, and identify methods to assess the effectiveness of inclusion initiatives.
