Course description
Despite the good intentions of management and workers to create equitable and safe workplaces, many employees continue to feel left out, disrespected, and exhausted by the daily experience of coping with microaggressions. It is clear, now more than ever, that those good intentions are not enough. In this module, participants take the first steps toward creating workplaces that embrace and uplift diverse lived experiences. They learn to engage all employees to contribute their best and work across diverse identities to create lasting, transformative change. This module is the first of three that make up the Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Series Micro-certificate. Modules must be completed in sequential order, as each module builds on the skills in the previous module.
