Description

Students will identify the dimensions of diversity that matter most in organizations and why, as well as examine the difference between diversity and inclusion. They will learn to recognize unconscious bias, stereotypes and prejudices that can influence behavior within a work group. They will explore how to identify interventions that can help override judgement and decision-making errors due to biases. Finally, they will find ways to foster an inclusive and equitable workplace climate through social connections, openness to learning, and a commitment to growth in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) at the organizational, supervisor and individual levels.
