DiversityEquityInclusion.com Expands Its Comprehensive DEI Online Learning Collection With Its New Inclusive Leadership Program

DiversityEquityInclusion.com, a respected online source focused on assisting individuals and organizations to build bridges to trust, respect, and cultural understanding in workplaces through targeted DEI education and leadership training, announced an important addition to its outstanding portfolio. The newest addition to the DEI Collection is the Inclusive Leadership program that gives participants the visibility, insights, tools, and education they need to effectively lead diverse teams, leverage team members’ unique strengths, and drive change across their organization.

Ms. Light explained the motivation behind the Inclusive Leadership program. “The Inclusive Leadership program announced today stems from the request of many of our current clients committed to energizing their existing culture to ensure that their people are engaged, invested, and, best of all, themselves. Authentic, inclusive leadership inspires great teams to do extraordinary things. When team members feel seen, valued, and safe, they are free to be active contributors, increasing business (or team) value. When employees feel like they belong, they are more invested in the company,” says CEO, Cathy Light.

McKinsey’s research proves that companies that rank in the top quartile for ethnically and culturally diverse executive teams are more likely to have industry-leading profitability. Individual differences and perspectives make teams stronger. But leading diverse teams, recognizing strengths, making space for authenticity, and creating a sense of belonging at work can be challenging. What leaders say and do makes up to a 70% difference as to whether an individual describes feeling included at work. The more people feel like they belong, the more they speak up, go the extra mile, and collaborate — all of which contribute to elevated organizational performance. The Inclusive Leadership program supports participants in developing their awareness and enables them to advance meaningful diversity in their workplace.
