About The Program

The purpose of this course is to raise the participant’s awareness about diversity, equity, and inclusion.  These terms are often used interchangeably but they are separate concepts and principles.  Diversity, equity, and inclusion recognise that there are differences, and that everyone is unique.  This leads to creativity, innovation and increased productivity in the workplace.  Diverse, equitable and inclusive workplaces give people the opportunity to bring their authentic selves and feel a sense of belonging.
