The WISE Introduction to Diversity and Inclusion course provides an overview of diversity, inclusion, equity and equality with a specific focus on the importance of gender balance and an inclusive work environment for organisations that recruit employees in STEM roles. The full course is broken down into 4 sections. Find out what diversity means and why it’s important in the modern workforce. Topics covered: Understanding the importance of diversity, inclusion, equity & equality in the workplace The business case for diversity and inclusion – including statistics and data evidencing this An overview of unconscious bias – what it is, how to recognise it and practical suggestions on how to manage bias Implementing diversity and inclusion within your organisation – including top tips and case studies from leading organisations The correlation between improved diversity and stronger business results is striking. There is a wealth of evidence that demonstrates that a diverse workforce makes companies more adaptable, more productive, and more responsive to what their customers are telling them. It’s clear that to get ahead in STEM, companies should be changing their demographics – and that failing to do so will mean being left behind.
