About this course

More and more successful companies are striving to become an example of diversity and spread a culture of caring for all social groups. So, is it a new trend or working technologies that bring companies to completely new levels? Today, the solution lies in implementing the DEI (diversity, equity, inclusivity) policy. Accenture surveyed 18,000 employees from 27 countries and found that a culture of equality in the workplace increases innovative thinking and leads to economic efficiency in all industries and countries. It boosts these figures by six or more times! Equity is the driver of innovation and profit growth. Yes, this is true.

In such an environment, employees are trusted, they are given the freedom to express themselves, be creative and experiment, and learn and work flexibly. There is no bias towards people's character. Acceptance and recognition are the key conditions for the harmonious development of the individual's personality and the disclosure of all potential. In this course, you will learn how to determine if your company is ready for such changes. Moreover, you will develop a strategy and plan for implementing DEI.
