Appreciate Diversity and Inclusion

Appreciate Diversity and Inclusion is a timely course that will engage participants as they watch the Cutting Edge team work through their own issues of unconscious bias, micro-aggressions, and diversity issues. Carol returns from vacation to find that Marcus has hired two non-English speakers, to develop diversity at work but not everything goes to plan. Diversity includes ethnicity, age, gender, and experience as well as physical, mental and emotional capabilities. Diversity is positive for company culture. Companies that encourage and appreciate diversity and inclusion have a wider range of skills and knowledge in their staff, and appreciate benefits as a result. Employees from different backgrounds bring new ideas, new ways of thinking and new ways of doing things. It is critical that we are all inclusive. A diverse workforce benefits everyone.
