Diversity, Equity & Inclusion: DEI Strategies for Business Impact

Your learning journey

Module 1: Diversity defined: a business case for DEI

Gain a solid understanding of diversity, from the different types of diversity and why diversity matters to related opportunities and obstacles as well as successes and failures.

Module 2: Causes of discrimination: individual and organisational factors

Explore cognitive and behavioural biases, including five major organisational practices that hinder diversity and three myths that stand in its way.

Module 3: Diversifying your workforce – micro-level strategies

Learn the essentials of crafting inclusive job ads and unbiased interview protocols, and get a comprehensive look at the evaluation process, including compensation, promotion and performance reviews.

Module 4: Why data should drive your DEI strategy

Take a deeper dive into data, with a focus on bias-free assessments, evaluating DEI in your organisation and using data for personnel decisions.

Module 5: Diversifying your workforce – organisational factors

On their own, diversity trainings are insufficient to effect meaningful organisational change. Explore complementary strategies including engagement, contact, focus, accountability and transparency.

Module 6: Designing DEI strategy in your organisation

Discover how to design, communicate and implement DEI strategy while avoiding resistance from the majority (and unintended negative consequences) and building allyship.
