Rotman Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for HR Professionals
Develop a sound understanding of what it means to create a safe and sustainable organizational culture
As a human resource professional, you're tasked with being the architect of your organization's culture. Rotman's Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion for HR Professionals program is designed to help you navigate conversations around key topics, build buy-in from the top level, and define a high-level strategy.
Created based on direct feedback from senior HR leaders across industries and customized for a relevant, practical experience, this program aims to bring HR professionals together in a safe and open environment. You'll learn from expert instructors with experience working in the field and from other HR leaders like yourself.
Challenge yourself to create an environment where employees from all backgrounds can thrive. You'll learn through
- data
- hands-on exercises
- case studies based on real companies
- videos and storytelling
- workbooks
- action planning
By the end of this program, you'll develop a sound understanding of what organizations need to know to foster inclusive cultures – and a network of peers you can turn to for sharing experiences, challenges and solutions.
"This is the first time this kind of training has been useful and I have participated in seven or eight sessions elsewhere previously."
Further Testimonials
"It was an aha moment to recognize that many behaviours are fitting a predetermined narrative we have and it was excellent to work through how we address that."
"We have come a long way in history to further close the gender gap between men and women, but needless to say there is lots of room to improve. I appreciated the discussion of the difference between equality and equity, and how given our position in society we have different needs in order to receive equality due to how our world is inherently structured."
