Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: Skills for Employees

It’s true that diversity, equity and inclusion can make teams stronger—maybe even boost the bottom line. But the sad reality is that the professional environment doesn’t always make people feel included. In fact, it may exclude them based on a number of things, including race, ethnicity, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity, age and religion. This may cause them to feel like they have to alter aspects of themselves—like appearance, tone or dialect—just to fit in. That’s why it’s so important for employers to create and model a fair and inclusive work environment for everyone. But what does this look like? And how can we, as coworkers, contribute to this? This course is designed to show how employees can make the workplace both fair and welcoming to those who have historically faced discrimination for any one aspect of their identity. Topics covered include barriers to an inclusive work environment and actionable steps to foster inclusion in the workplace.
