Course Overview

The corporate strategy for diversity, equality, and inclusivity (DEI) in an organisation is greater than ever, and it will only get better as the link between financial success strengthens and diversity. Implementing a DEI strategic objective has the potential to foster innovation, empathy, and creativity in a manner that homogeneous workplace environments rarely encounter. The Leading Workplace Diversity online course provides a diversity plan of action that will not only create real change in the company but will also have an influence on growth and success in business.

When assessing firms and job offers, A Glassdoor report says that 76% of workers and job seekers said workforce diversity is essential. Progress is sluggish owing to poor acceptance of diversity in workplaces, inclusion rules will change anything until the corporate culture changes as well. Leading Workplace Diversity Training Investigates diversification as a moral, financial and pragmatic necessity; the distinction between hiring and workplace prejudice, and how they appear as impediments to diversity.

The course explores how successful staff selection procedures may foster diversity while lowering employee attrition. Based on Dr. Eden King and Dr. Mikki's Hebl extensive research and teaching in the science of a diverse workforce, the leading workplace diversity syllabus covers practical recruiting and organizational methods for attracting, selecting, and retaining talent in order to promote diversity inside your company.
