Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging are essential to business success. It matters now more than ever.

We believe diversity and inclusion should not stay as buzzwords in the workplace but should put into action. With this course we uncover the terminology and bring you the best practices from companies like Cisco. We tackle different aspects of diversity that go beyond gender. Today it seems like many businesses are still far from taking tangible steps to establish a workplace that is committed to inclusion, diversity, and belonging. 
We will uncover the best practices for creating diverse teams and a culture that supports those teams and individuals to stop turnover and get you closer to the organization's overall D&I goals.
There is no Wellbeing without embracing Diversity
 
Stress and uncertainty have escalated due to the pandemic, which may have an adverse effect on one's mental and physical wellbeing. That is why more and more organizations embrace diversity, inclusion, and belonging at work to foster a compassionate atmosphere where workers feel appreciated, understood, and connected.
