Full course description
What are the practical implications of more diversity and inclusion in the workplace?
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 is the third in a series and consolidates and builds on the knowledge gained in the Diversity & Inclusion in Practice - Essentials and Extend courses.
In the Deep Dive credential, you will explore the practical outcomes of diversity and inclusion in the workplace, drawing on the experiences of presenters and other participants. You will get the opportunity to use the skills and knowledge you have gained to develop and present your own plan 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:
- critically review the practices in your own workplace that may inhibit diversity and inclusion.
- plan diversity and inclusion practices suitable for your workplace.
Assessment(s)
To successfully complete this credential, you are required to pass a final assessment. Assessment for this course is based on the preparation and delivery of a presentation to other participants on the diversity and inclusion change that will be implemented in your workplace (10 minutes).
