Certificate in Inclusive Hiring, Retention & Development

Course Overview

Workforce diversity is a fast-growing trend in the business world because recruiting a diverse team has proven to provide tangible benefits to performance, innovation, and productivity. Some of the known benefits include: possessing a broader range of skills and experience on the team; increased language and cultural awareness that benefits employees and customers and vendors; and larger and more varied candidate pools. It has been proven that diverse workforces are better at solving problems, avoiding “echo chamber” or confirmation bias mentalities much more effectively, and drive better creativity and innovation at work.
