DEI
Solutions for a just workplace
Laser-focus on social justice issues in the workplace—and take on a real workplace challenge related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). In just seven weeks, you'll take the leap from knowledge to action—from mindful leader to inclusion champion. Through research, analysis, and building an innovative solution, you'll address a diversity and organization problem by developing a data-driven solution to help a company better promote diversity and inclusion.
You'll grapple with social challenges that companies face in a global business environment—in a deeper, more direct way than you would by simply learning about them in a lecture or a book.
Marla Baskerville, Chief Diversity Officer; Associate Professor, Management and Organizational Development
