Equality, Diversity and Inclusion: A Business Imperative – June 29 – CPA

Learn how diversity and inclusion contributes to an innovative and successful workplace.

Appreciating diversity is a business imperative. Of course, we should treat all people with respect and dignity in all aspects of life. But diversity as a business imperative, however, goes beyond this. This CPA Ontario webinar will review the importance of diversity in the workplace, and will demonstrate how organizations that promote diversity will be the ones to succeed.

This seminar will discuss what diversity is and how to value uniqueness in others. Participants will learn how biases and stereotypes are formed, their impact in the workplace and how they can lead to discrimination. The course will explore strategies to disrupt unconscious bias and create equal opportunity. Finally, participants will practice inclusive language in oral and written communications, and set personal goals to build inclusive habits.
