Masterclass Diversity & Inclusion

The need to create an inclusive company is bigger than ever. Allowing everyone to be unique and stimulate feelings of belongingness – also known as inclusion – has been labeled the panacea in the field of diversity management. Diversit is one of the sustainable growth factors and leads to more innovation, better communication, and better decision-making.

Bringing diversity to your organisation is not enough though. Inclusion is what you should aim for to profit from diversity. But where do you start or build upon? How to attract a diverse group of employees? How do you make them stay when they are a minority? And how do you build an inclusive company culture? Those are the questions that will be addressed in this programme.

This certified programme for HR professionals, D&I managers, CEO’s or other professionals who have taken on D&I responsibilities, is a complete and intense
programme to give you all the information you need about every aspect of diversity and inclusion.

At the end of this programme, you will have your own personal, actionable D&I strategy. Unique to this programme is that you are allowed to bring stakeholders to
up to five sessions in order to create support within your organisation.
