The course will bring you an understanding of the fundamental categories of diversity , and will particularly focus on demographic diversity including gender, ethnicity, race, disability, aging or physical appearance. it will also help you to identify the challenges posed by diversity, and finally you will gain a working knowledge of how to manage diversity in organizations and teams. This course is designed for all: students and young professionals, as well as older and senior professionals looking for a better understanding of what diversity is and the role it plays in the organization.

In this course, we explore the nature of cognitive and experiential diversity, as understanding these invisible forms of diversity is essential to meet the needs of an organization.

Cognitive and experiential diversity is needed to drive innovation and disruption. To address the challenges of the future, we must understand the cognitive and experiential backgrounds needed to tackle every challenge that comes our way. During the course, we will build models to guide us in measuring these different cognitive and experiential backgrounds and how we can leverage each in an organization.

Diversity and Belonging in Businesses and Organizations will help you as an individual, as a team, and an organization to better understand and implement policies and practices that emphasize and promote not only the inclusion but the belonging of all employees. It is aimed to cover the following objectives:

Policies - How to identify and understand the ways in which structural dynamics of an organization can preclude a sense of belonging and how to use inclusive policies as a tool to foster belonging. Practices - How to design an organizational culture that promotes the wellbeing and belonging of all its constituents through kindness, empathy, openness, and compassion. People - How to leverage the creation of affinity groups and task forces to overcome structural biases, build community and create a greater sense of belonging. The final module also introduces complementary resources to bring the pillars together and support an organization's belonging efforts.
