Free Courses to Help You Become a Stronger Ally and Have Inclusive Conversations

Author –  Hari Srinivasan

Investing in our own learning to understand and confront bias, communicate about topics of difference, and create change can help us individually contribute to building a better workplace and society.

There are many ways to show up as an ally. Many of us are looking for resources, especially now, on how to create more inclusivity and belonging in the workplace.

It’s going to take all of us to create a more equitable world. In order to do our small part to support you and the community, we’ve made this learning path on Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging for All available for free through August 31st.

Learn from experts on how to:

• Understand and confront unconscious bias: Our experiences shape who we are, and our race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, place of birth, and other factors impact the lens with which we view the world which leads to unconscious bias. Learn how to counter bias in our words, actions, and stand up for your colleagues and community.
