Examine what it means to be an inclusive manager

Diversity, inclusion, and equality are extremely important in the workplace. But how can you cultivate a diverse team and a sense of belonging as a manager?

On this course, you’ll start by examining what diversity, inclusion, equality, and equity really mean and why they’re so important, especially in the workplace.

You’ll then look at the characteristics and behaviours of an inclusive manager and how you can adapt your leadership skills to support inclusion and belonging.

Explore the benefits of multicultural teams and how to overcome inclusion challenges

There can sometimes be unique challenges at each stage of the employee lifecycle that add hurdles for inclusion.

Through worked examples, you’ll examine these different stages, from attraction and recruitment to retention and exit, and explore the inclusion challenges that you might face.
