MANAGING EMPLOYEE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

Fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace implies respect for and appreciation of difference - these differences may be based on numerous social categories (ethnicity, gender, age, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, social class, education, religion etc). Respecting and valuing such difference can yield benefits for organizations. However, managing a diverse and inclusive workplace also implies challenges. Through a series of interactive exercises - case studies, debate and personal assessment - this course explores issues associated with managing workplace diversity and inclusion, provoking discussion and raising awareness on an increasingly salient organizational issue.
