Diversity Practitioners Certification with SDA Bocconi

An organization is only as good as its culture—and building that culture is every manager’s and employee’s responsibility. As today’s headlines prove, an inclusive work environment is not just a nice-to-have, it can make or break a company. You can help make your organization a more supportive and engaging place to work by understanding the perceptual, institutional, and psychological processes that impact the ways people interact with each other. Starting with a look at employee engagement, then identifying interventions surrounding unconscious bias and specific diversity and inclusion strategies, this program is appropriate for anyone committed to going beyond mere compliance to build a truly aware and inclusive work culture.

The certificate program will help with following areas:

• Understand the approach to D&I which reflects the vision and values of the company, and execute a strategy with the right policies and processes
