Explore how to effectively manage a diverse team inclusively and create an environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging.
This course is made available through the eLearnAfrica and FutureLearn partnership.
On this four-week course, you will learn the concepts of inclusion, diversity, equality, equity, and belonging. These are all important to leverage the differences and individual strengths of team members with diverse backgrounds.
Once you’ve completed this course, you will be better equipped to hire, develop, and retain people while creating a team environment where everyone feels that they belong.
Diversity, inclusion, and equality are extremely important in the workplace. But how can you cultivate a diverse team and a sense of belonging as a manager?
On this course, you’ll start by examining what diversity, inclusion, equality, and equity really mean and why they’re so important, especially in the workplace.
You’ll then look at the characteristics and behaviours of an inclusive manager and how you can adapt your leadership skills to support inclusion and belonging.
There can sometimes be unique challenges at each stage of the employee lifecycle that add hurdles for inclusion.
Through worked examples, you’ll examine these different stages, from attraction and recruitment to retention and exit, and explore the inclusion challenges that you might face.
