Inclusion and Diversity Introductory Programme

Support an I&D leadership strategy in your workplace and drive behaviours that reinforce inclusion and diversity standards.

Overview

Everyone plays a role in creating inclusive and diverse workplace cultures where individuals thrive. People professionals specialising in or supporting inclusion and diversity (I&D) require an understanding of their workforce, their context and environment, and how to create sustainable change.

This thought-provoking course has been developed by Sukh Pabial, one of CIPD’s experienced Associates. People practitioners and professionals will learn how to approach and build an evidence-based organisational strategy for inclusion and diversity. Transferring their learning into day-to-day work, they will play a role in driving action for workplace behaviours that support and reinforce I&D standards.

Upon completion, delegates will be able to clearly define inclusion and diversity and help develop policies and practice. Supporting and building the capability of I&D leaders, they will enable the business to create a culture of trust which enables people to speak up, feel safe and advocate for others.
