Full course description
Would you like to understand workplace diversity and inclusion from the point of view of a marginalised group?
Promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace is all about human rights. At its core, this means that all people have the right to be treated equally at work with the same opportunities and privileges.
Not only is this the right thing for the employee, promoting diversity and inclusion can also have benefits for the employer, with many organisations now recognising that diverse teams are more productive and successful than homogenous ones.
This credential extends the knowledge gained in Diversity & Inclusion in Practice - Essentials with the aim of bringing these human rights into practice.
The course explores diversity and inclusion from the perspectives of marginalised groups. You will hear from presenters with lived experience in the areas of race, culture, sexuality/gender and ability. You can take part in practical exercises that aim to build a foundation for implementing change in the workplace.
This credential is particularly suitable for:
- HR professionals responsible for improving their workplace diversity and inclusion practices
- Organisations and government departments committed to embedding diversity and inclusion into the workplace.
By completing this credential you will learn to:
- Appreciate the lived experiences of people from a range of diverse communities in the workplace.
- Begin to review the practices in your own workplace that may inhibit diversity and inclusion.
Assessment(s)
To successfully complete this credential, you are required to pass a final assessment. Assessment is based on written reflection on how the ideas explored in this credential relate to your workplace, and ideas for implementing change in your workplace (1000 words).
