Equity and Belonging in Organizations

Catalog description

This fundamental course examines how inclusive organizations successfully adapt to diverse customers, markets, ideas, and talents to maximize productivity and achieve an organizational culture of equity and belonging. With the growth of diversity in the U.S. and global workforces, organizations are increasingly expecting leaders to effectively create and champion a culture of inclusivity as a way to meet organizational commitments to social justice, enhance organizational performance, and maximize employee satisfaction. In this interactive course, students will explore the structural foundations of social identity and inequity in organizations, examine the necessary leadership tools to meaningfully address these forces in contemporary organizations, and learn how leaders can best create and sustain organizational cultures that respect and value diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Non-Dynamics students: please include a job description in your permissions request.
