Diversity and Inclusion: Manager Skills in Focus (Global)
Understand the issues surrounding diversity, equality and inclusion in the workplace and what you need to do as a manager.
Description
Managers of increasingly diverse populations are bound to encounter an array of diversity and inclusion challenges often without any clear guidelines or prior experience to rely on to resolve these issues. Therefore, to succeed in promoting an inclusive environment and serve as an example, managers need to be given the tools to deal with the multifaceted issues surrounding diversity, equality, and inclusion in their workplace.
This course is designed to give you an understanding of issues surrounding diversity, equality and inclusion in the workplace and what you need to do as a manager. Embracing diversity and promoting equality goes a long way in creating a work culture that values talent beyond stereotypes and in helping people reach their potential by contributing their best without prejudice. Moreover, an inclusive workplace fosters better productivity and efficiency, strengthening the business and providing greater value for everyone. In each section, you will hear first-person accounts about a wide range of issues which are faced in every workplace. You will learn facts about discrimination, understand workplace policies on equality, learn how to promote inclusion at work, and be asked to consider what you would do if confronted by those issues when managing staff.
