CMI Unit 715 Strategic Approaches to Diversity and Inclusion
There is a moral, financial and legal business case for excellent practice in equality, diversity and inclusion in an organisational context. Ensuring it is led effectively at a strategic level requires knowledge, understanding, skills, behaviours and tenacity to keep pace with the momentum of change. Strategically, equality, diversity and inclusion matters. An understanding of the topic not only impacts on the success of strategic objectives but it mitigates risk and enables a culture of support and wellbeing to thrive.
About this course
The aim of this unit is to enable leaders to develop an in-depth understanding of equality, diversity and inclusion at a strategic level.
