Overview
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: DEI Strategies for Business Impact (DEI) are critical issues faced by organizations of all sizes across industries. Most organizations have made slow progress towards them in recent decades, but societal and cultural shifts in the last few years have accelerated the pace of change — and along with it, the need for new approaches and solutions to boost DEI in the workplace. This program is designed to help managers and executives understand the importance of DEI in the workplace and gain actionable insights and strategies to support DEI within their organizations. It features diverse perspectives from both academia and industry, including faculty leaders and high-level executives who provide a holistic view of diversity that goes beyond race, gender, ethnicity and class with the goal of improving both business outcomes and social responsibility. By the end of the program, participants will be prepared to develop a DEI strategy for their current organizations.
Course Description & Learning Outcomes
The concepts of diversity, equity and inclusion aren't new, but recent shifts in culture have brought them to the forefront and shown how far we still have to go. It’s up to organizations to pick up the baton and continue the progress—not only because Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) ultimately benefits their bottom line but also because consumers now expect increased levels of social responsibility as the norm. This six-week program will help you understand the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace and gain actionable insights. At the end of the program, you’ll put the knowledge and tools you’ve acquired to work in a capstone project: creating a DEI strategy for your own organization.
