DEI – Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Cultivating diversity in the workplace can be challenging. When approached thoughtfully, diversity challenges are valuable opportunities for workplace growth and inclusion.
Forward thinking diversity and inclusion training teaches learners how to develop an environment of inclusion and respect that generates high morale, productivity, and positively impacts company brand.
UM defines these critical constructs this way:
Diversity: We commit to increasing diversity, which is expressed in myriad forms, including race and ethnicity, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, language, culture, national origin, religious commitments, age, (dis)ability status and political perspective.
Equity: We commit to working actively to challenge and respond to bias, harassment, and discrimination. We are committed to a policy of equal opportunity for all persons and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, religion, height, weight, or veteran status.
Inclusion: We commit to pursuing deliberate efforts to ensure that our campus is a place where differences are welcomed, different perspectives are respectfully heard and where every individual feels a sense of belonging and inclusion. We know that by building a critical mass of diverse groups on campus and creating a vibrant climate of inclusiveness, we can more effectively leverage the resources of diversity to advance our collective capabilities.
Our DEI Training seeks to accomplish the following:
- Assess and improve employee engagement levels
- Enhance organizational culture in your team and company
- Recognize unconscious bias and how it affects the way that people perceive and react to others
- Understand the dimensions of diversity that matter most in organizations and why
- Assess stereotypes and prejudices that may influence behavior in work groups and learn methods to improve the psychological safety of all employees
- Examine strategies for implementing ethical standards
