Description
This online course discusses important Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion terms and explains what they mean, how they can build an environment of equality or make one that is discriminatory. It will cover what we can do – and not do – to treat people equally. A psychologically safe workplace is one where team members feel able to speak up without fear of being judged or criticised for doing so. It’s an environment that empowers people to share their ideas and point out problems.
This is a really useful online course for open-minded people not just looking for a comprehensive introduction to EDI, but for those looking to be more empathetic friends and colleagues, and for businesses looking to improve their retention, success levels, and diversity.
