Blended learning

Diversity in everyday corporate life

Living diversity: Everyday life, language, personnel, identity

This blended learning is held in German.
Diversity management has become increasingly relevant in recent years. Companies are increasingly recognizing the importance and benefits. In order to operate successfully in a globalized world, it is essential to integrate diversity and inclusion into everyday working life. In this course, you will deal intensively with the implementation of diversity management in everyday business life. As a diversity manager, you will play a key role in implementing diversity management in your company's day-to-day work and keeping it alive. You will therefore deal with the various areas and strategies that are important in this context. Among other things, you will address the following questions: What concrete measures could be taken to make your company more diverse in the perception of your customers, applicants and Employees ? What impetus can you provide to make your company an even more attractive employer where there is as little minority stress and discrimination as possible? What language can you use in words and images? And what does your complaints and conflict management look like? The course is made up of high-quality self-study modules and live webinars. It has been designed so that you can learn flexibly - ideal if you want to continue your education while working.
