Diversity

Workplace Diversity, Inclusion, and Respect

Workplace Diversity, Inclusion, and Respect helps employees and leaders build greater self-awareness, recognize everyday assumptions and bias, and contribute to a more respectful and inclusive workplace.

Diversity and inclusion efforts depend on more than policies or statements of intent. They require daily behaviors that demonstrate respect, awareness, openness, and accountability. When employees and leaders understand how assumptions, bias, communication habits, and workplace behaviors affect others, they are better prepared to support a work environment where people feel respected and able to contribute.

This workplace training course gives participants an opportunity to increase their knowledge and skills related to diversity, inclusion, and respectful workplace behavior. Participants examine the positive impact diversity and inclusion can have on workplace culture, employee engagement, collaboration, and business results.

Participants leave better prepared to recognize behaviors that may devalue others, challenge assumptions, learn more about individual differences, and support a workplace culture grounded in respect, inclusion, and accountability.

Assessment / Other Details

This course does not require a formal assessment.

The course may include self-reflection, discussion exercises, workplace scenarios, bias-awareness activities, respectful workplace examples, and facilitated dialogue.

Talent Authority recommends delivering this course to leaders first when the organization plans to roll it out broadly. This allows leaders to support dialogue, reinforce expectations, and respond more effectively when team members complete the course.

The course can be adjusted based on organizational objectives. The source course recommends approximately 3 hours for leaders and approximately 2 hours for team members when delivered as separate customized sessions.
