Diversity and inclusion are becoming increasingly important for modern workplaces, over 70% of people in employment say inclusion is important to them within the workplace. One of the most effective ways to overcome barriers to D&I is through ongoing education and accessible training that meets employees where they are.

Ethical and legal considerations will be thoroughly examined, ensuring that your initiatives not only promote inclusivity but also adhere to established ethical principles and legal frameworks. You will also learn how to develop robust diversity and inclusion performance metrics, enabling you to measure progress accurately and identify areas for further improvement.
