As we navigate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the workplace it is important to gain a common understanding to what the key components most often associated with DEI.  This course will guide you through defining what DEI is and how it can apply to your workplace. IPD can customize this course to align with your organization’s DEI terms and policies.

Start your journey on the right foot relying on the supplies you assembled.

We are frequently told that searching for common ground and uncovering similarities is the best way to foster connections; however, these connections can also be built by cultivating a deeper curiosity regarding our differences. By embracing the idea of cultural humility, you can develop a more profound appreciation for diversity and learn how to respond to it in a meaningful way. While many organizations concentrate on becoming more diverse, this course offers crucial insights into how to retain diversity and prepare yourself and your organization to become more inclusive.

Learn to read the trail and avoid pitfalls on the path to a more inclusive workplace.

Bias is pervasive and influences our actions both professionally and personally. This course aims to equip you with tools to identify your biases, enabling you to make unbiased decisions and cultivate stronger, more equitable relationships. While recognizing our individual prejudices is beneficial, this course also addresses systemic bias and discrimination already present in our workplaces.  It provides actionable strategies towards eliminating bias for a comprehensive workplace change.

As you find success on your journey, clear the path for those who follow and keep moving forward towards your next goals.

To promote diversity, equity, and inclusivity in our workplace, we must transition from passive involvement in DEI initiatives to actively driving change within our sphere of influence. This course will equip you to respectfully engage in challenging conversations so that you can individually contribute to a respectful, diverse, and inclusive workplace culture.
