This course offers a critical understanding of workplace equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging practices. Students will learn about concepts and theories foundational to addressing issues of inequities. Learners will better understand how their own experiences shape their ability to lead across difference and inclusion and how to shift from a place of awareness to action. Our exploration of diverse and inclusive workplaces will be examined through concepts such as bias, prejudice, discrimination, and privilege. This course offers a roadmap and tools for organizations to co-create, equitable and inclusive workplace practices emphasizing the value of diversity and inclusion. The instructor may adapt content to address current issues.
Upon completion of this class you will learn to:
- Develop foundational knowledge of equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging in the workplace
- Critically evaluate the effects of organizational policies and practices on designated groups (women, Indigenous peoples, members of visible minorities and persons with disabilities)
- Communicate the merits and benefits of diversity, equity, and inclusion
- Use knowledge and skills gained to assist in creating a more diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace environment.
