About this course
Recent societal events have given rise to the importance of diversity and inclusion in organizations. But the words diversity and inclusion are often used interchangeably -- and they are conspicuously different. Frequently, leaders believe when they achieve diversity the job is done. It is not.
If your organizational culture does not embrace different people and perspectives, you will not retain the diverse talent you hired. The measurable result is turnover. The perceptual result is tokenism -- or D.I.N.O: Diversity In Name Only. Inclusion requires that everyone's contributions be valued, that individuals regardless of their ethnicity, nationality, race, identity, culture, heritage, or gender have the opportunity to do their best work and advance.
This course examines the difference between diversity and inclusion, provides strategies to become genuinely inclusive, and shows how inclusion improves overall departmental and organizational productivity. Topics covered include D&I terminology and facts, Inclusion vs. D.I.N.O, and how to actually measure inclusion in your organization.
