ORG_BEH 312-DL : Managing Diversity & Inclusion

Description

In recent years, the terms diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) have been used by organizations to demonstrate their commitment to employees, stakeholders, and the general public. But are they truly curating cultures that give ALL personnel the space to thrive? For some companies, it may be words inserted in mission statements and on websites; for others, it may be true engagement, assessment, investment, and accountability. In this course, we will delve into these tenets and other terms in the diversity space, investigate their meaning, and critically think about how to introduce DEI into work cultures and the communities where we live, work and play. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to articulate the significance of DEI, employ strategies and tactics, and illustrate how when implemented, programs can positively impact cultures and a company’s bottom line.

This course is conducted completely online. A technology fee will be added to tuition.

Northwestern students who are not in the School of Professional Studies must obtain consent from their college adviser, Dean’s Office, or program to enroll in this course.
