Diversity In The Workplace For Managers And Supervisors

The world has become more mobile and advances in technology and communication have made the workplace more diverse. Diversity is not just about race, but also about age, sexual orientation, socioeconomics, and more. Change is often hard for many people, but there are laws to protect individuals, so change does not equate to discrimination. Managers must implement these rules and laws within their workplaces. Stereotyping, bias, and discrimination can lead to high turnover and low productivity, not to mention that discrimination is also illegal. Promoting diversity in one’s department involves getting to know your team and reaching out to those that may be different than you. Use this course to help ensure managers and supervisors understand their role in promoting diversity and inclusion.
