Building a Culture of Inclusion and Belonging
Beyond identifying exclusionary practices and embracing DEI practices at the team level, leaders need to implement organizational change. This program looks at how you can sustain inclusion efforts by making retention, performance reviews, and promotion policies more inclusive. To develop strategies that centralize DEI in lasting ways, you will also learn how to communicate these values through multiple levels of operations. Beyond identifying techniques within organizations, this program will explore ways to foreground inclusion beyond organizations through relationships with vendors, customers, and the community.
