Training Course Overview
According to Apple Inc., "The most innovative company must also be the most diverse" (Apple, 2018). Embracing diversity and inclusion is crucial for the sustainability and prosperity of every organization. When individuals feel fully welcomed, valued, respected, and included within their teams and organizations, they become catalysts for growth. Simply put, diversity is effective. However, diversity alone isn't sufficient; inclusion, though closely related, stands as a distinct concept.
SHRM defines inclusion as "creating a work environment where all individuals are treated fairly and respectfully, have equal access to opportunities and resources, and can contribute fully to the organization’s success." Current research underscores a fundamental equation: Diversity + inclusion = enhanced business outcomes (Deloitte, 2018).
Decades of diversity training and research have shown that targeted programs focusing on awareness and skill development, conducted over a sustained period, can yield significant positive impacts. The effectiveness of diversity training hinges on the methods employed, the participants' individual traits, and the specific outcomes measured post-training.
