Course Description
Many managers want to enjoy a safe and positive workplace, but they don’t always know how to support identity, cultural, and personality differences. This course will show you how to work with diversity, and not against it. We share best practices for creating an inclusive workplace where people can feel comfortable to participate as their authentic selves. You’ll learn how to allow your employees to take ownership of their work culture, so that they’re invested in sustaining a positive environment. We'll help you develop a plan that values diversity. You’ll learn how to design protective measures, inclusion committees, zero-tolerance policies, and stress-management training.
In this course we’ll teach you to be the change you want to see by setting an example for the people you work with. When you demonstrate respectful behavior, it is easier to ask the same thing of your workforce. We'll explore how being a positive influence can make your approaches to hostility more authentic. You’ll learn about enforcing a zero-tolerance policy that educates each employee about behaviors that cross your organization’s boundaries. We’ll also help you encourage your employees to become positive role models for each other.
