Promoting Diversity and Inclusion
In today’s multicultural society, successful organizations recognize the importance of a diverse and inclusive workplace to promote equality, employee engagement and wellness, and to enhance productivity. But a diverse workplace doesn’t necessarily mean an inclusive one. In our communications, we must consider diversity elements such as race, religion, gender identity, mental health, different perspectives and political views. The organizations and leaders who promote diversity and inclusion will be the ones to succeed.
Expected Outcomes:
- Understand the benefits of working in a diverse and inclusive workplace with equal opportunity for all employees
- Assess and begin to develop your cultural competence
- Identify opportunities to adopt more inclusive behaviours
- Learn to use more inclusive language and to adapt to diverse communication styles
- Learn strategies to disrupt biases and contribute to a collaborative, inclusive work culture
