This course on Diversity and Belonging in Businesses and Organizations will support individuals, teams, and organizations to better understand and implement policies and practices that promote the inclusion as well as the belonging of all employees. We aim to cover the following topics: Policies - How to identify and understand the ways in which the structural dynamics of an organization can preclude a sense of belonging and how to use inclusive policies as a tool to foster belonging. Practices - How to design an organizational culture that promotes the well-being and belonging of all its constituents through kindness, empathy, openness, and compassion. People - How to leverage the creation of affinity groups and task forces to overcome structural biases, build community, and create a greater sense of belonging. The final module of the course provides complementary resources to bring course concepts together and support an organization's belonging efforts.
