Building Inclusive Work Communities

Have you ever had the feeling that no one had your back, or that you weren’t sure who you should trust? Having that feeling at work is particularly hard; it makes it tough to focus on your work or advance your career. And even if you don’t feel that way, its likely there’s at least one person you’re working with who does. In this course, you’ll learn how to prevent that feeling for everyone you work with. Your instructor is Joanne Walters, a business leader and human resources professional with years of experience helping organizations develop inclusive practices. She’ll walk you through how to create and maintain work communities that are inclusive of the diverse people on your team. In doing so, you can do your best to ensure there aren’t any team members who feel left behind or like they don’t belong. After completing the course, you’ll have specific, concrete ways to create a real community of belonging at work, not just a shared space. It may feel daunting at first, but the most important work often does.
