Description
There’s a perfect storm going on. We’ve got the new economy, a new generation coming online, and we have LinkedIn pulling people away from us and bringing them to us. Also, there’s ethical issues. All of these issues surround and apply to the issue of diversity.
Simply put, diversity is the mix of people you have in an organization; inclusion is how you integrate and manage them. In the “New Normal” world of the modern economy, having a culture that encourages the full participation of all people on the team is a real competitive advantage.
This one hour fast-paced course updates one’s strategic view of the world of Diversity and Inclusion, and applies it to the specialized world we work in.
