Work environments that prioritize Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) efforts have been statistically proven to increase productivity, innovation, safety, and happiness. Strengthening individual and organizational leadership capabilities and increasing understanding on how to foster a culture of inclusion and belonging is essential.
Building an inclusive culture requires both learning and unlearning, and this course will actively help diverse adult learners grow forward with critical awareness and expanded skill sets.
