Diversity, equity & inclusion in the workplace
Course overview
Workplaces are increasingly seeking to adopt a more diverse, inclusive approach to their people selection and policy making. But what is best practice when it comes to team members at all levels enacting diversity, equity and inclusion, and making a positive difference to the work culture?
This module explores the key components of a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace, what we can do to nurture this as leaders and contributors, and what challenges we might expect along the way. It provides helpful frameworks for how to recognise and address non-inclusive behaviours and outlines some practical ways to promote a work culture in which everyone feels they belong.

I have been designing and conducting training in risk and compliance for 20+ years and I just wanted to share that the Enmasse training was some of the best online training I’ve ever done. When you see something that is human centred, personable, effective, digestible and easy to use, it’s rare.
I've recently become more aware of unconscious bias and affinity bias as barriers to true inclusion. The affinity bias exercise (around people you trusted) was really valuable as it was a bit of a light bulb moment and further broadened my understanding of some of the psychological factors at play in this space.
Great presenters. Very engaging. As a female who has been engaged in this work for some time it was refreshing to see that a majority of the men in the room are now on board with this messaging.
The facilitator was great – she really cared about mental health issues and it showed. The practical examples were excellent.
I found defining the key concepts of mental health and wellbeing, the symptoms and how to respond appropriately was excellent.
The case studies were excellent, and the practical tips on how to mange certain situations.
