Valuing Difference

Create an environment that brings out the best in all team members!

Diversity benefits us in many ways but working with difference can be challenging. This course is designed to help leaders at the supervisory level identify and leverage differences among team members, analyze self-behavior towards inclusion enhancement and develop techniques to facilitate inclusion.

Diverse workplaces are the norm in many companies. However, not all workplaces make the most of this diversity by being inclusive. The benefits of inclusion are varied, from happier and more secure colleagues to higher-quality work and creative output. Leaders at the supervisory level play a vital role in building an inclusive environment that assures all employees that their contributions will be heard and valued.

To progress to higher leadership levels, supervisory leaders must demonstrate an understanding of the arguments for inclusion and the ability to build an inclusive environment. Through this course, leaders can develop the skills necessary to assess their own practices and act as necessary to create an environment that brings out the best in all team members.
