It’s true that diversity, equity and inclusion can make teams stronger—maybe even boost the bottom line. But the sad reality is that the professional environment doesn’t always make people feel included. In fact, it may exclude them based on a number of things, including race, ethnicity, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity, age and religion. This may cause them to feel like they have to alter aspects of themselves—like appearance, tone or dialect—just to fit in. That’s why it’s so important for employers to create and model a fair and inclusive work environment for everyone. But what does this look like? And how can we, as managers and employees, contribute to this? This course is designed to show how everyone can make the workplace both fair and welcoming to those who have historically faced discrimination for any one aspect of their identity. Topics covered include barriers to an inclusive work environment and actionable steps to foster inclusion in the workplace.

This course explores four common myths around hiring, retention, and advancement in the workplace, as well as strategies for combating these myths. The myth of the meritocracy favors candidates with similar credentials and hinders non-traditional candidates from advancement. The myth of bad fit can mask the role of unconscious bias in evaluation.

In addition to helping coursetakers identify the four myths, this course provides practical ways to level the playing field for all candidates.
