Extremely rewarding wrt learning and eye opener from a personal evolution space. A must attend programme for anyone working in a D&I role or simply looking to be an informed ally. Business especially will need to start thinking of D&I at its core. I would also recommend the course to students looking to specialise in humanities and similar fields.

It was an enriching experience along with a lot of learning and the course design was very pragmatic. A lot of learning and a lot of introspection around the topic of inclusion and diversity. A wonderful course curated with a lot of thought and lot of heart. This course will certainly equip you to add value to your organisation's inclusion and diversity journey.

I was back in class after a break of 15 years. It was wonderful to engage in meaningful conversation with people passionate about inclusion and diversity. Their experiences added a lot of depth to my learning. I also enjoyed learning from the different professors. Each of them added a new dimension and I walked away with a lot of knowledge

Overall rewarding experience. Don't look at it from just a certification point, rather expanding one's own idea of D&I in it's true sense

A 60-hour Inclusion and Diversity Certificate Program
(In online webinar format).
Working professionals with a minimum of 5 years' experience can apply.
Overview
Organizations have become increasingly diverse and culture driven in the emerging globalized markets. It is necessary to nurture diversity and also encourage an inclusive environment to optimize the team efforts and tackle the challenges arising in the workplace. After all, an organization is defined by the team, its culture, and its results.
In a workplace, interaction among peers, managers, and clients with different culture, identities and experience give way to new opportunities and challenges. Mindful engagement with these differences improves productivity, creativity and inclusivity in an organization. Diversity and Inclusion in a workplace broaden market reachability and increase employee retention.
