Course description
As workplaces diversify, leaders must know how to best care for and unify teammates from different cultural backgrounds. A multicultural organization is one that has a workforce that includes people from diverse backgrounds across all departments, and which offers them equal opportunity for input and advancement within the company. Inclusive language means avoiding biases or discriminatory slang when choosing words and phrases. Certain expressions may discriminate against groups of people based on gender bias, ability, socioeconomic status or race bias. Have you ever remained silent when your input could’ve been helpful at work? Well, you’re not alone. When opposing opinions and feedback aren’t welcomed at work, it can feel unsafe to voice our thoughts and opinions.
Diversity is an important issue for any modern business, but it’s not enough to simply hire people of different nationalities, races, genders and sexual orientations. Everyone needs to feel welcome, safe and free to be themselves in the workplace.
If you focus on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in your workplace, your business’s culture and bottom line will benefit.
Words matter, so speaking respectfully in the workplace will create a more accepting environment. Inclusive language brings everyone into the conversation. Language that communicates inclusion and affirms all genders makes everyone feel safe.
