Embracing the Power of Diversity and Inclusion featuring Special Olympics
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are necessary for the healthy development and success of individuals and organizations alike. But to achieve those, they have to be more than catchphrases and buzzwords. True DEI and belonging journeys require developing a growth mindset and embracing the perspective that with every person we meet, there's something new to learn. In this course, you'll meet people with compelling stories to tell of how they fought for, and found, a welcoming workplace. By sharing their stories, they offer you an opportunity to learn, understand, and grow in ways that will help you make your own workplace a safe and welcoming place for everyone.
