eMODULE: Diversity and Inclusion EDU
AUDIENCE: All Faculty, Staff
LEVEL: 1
DURATION: 45-55 Minutes
Diversity in the modern workplace can be challenging. However, when approached from a human and humane perspective, diversity challenges can instead become valuable opportunities for workplace inclusion.
This course uses the unique experiences of real people to explore key concepts such as identity, power, privilege, and communication. By gaining a better appreciation for our shared experiences of difference, our shared expectations of respect, and our
shared need to belong and feel appreciated, employees are encouraged to identify how they can create more respectful and inclusive workplaces.
