Building an Intentional Workplace (online)

Course Description

What tools, frameworks, resources, questions, and approaches help “operationalize” a commitment into a reality? What work do leaders need to do internally to undertake this change with others? These are among the questions addressed in this course. Key topics to be covered within the overarching themes of cultural competence and workplace inclusion are: recognizing and addressing biases; shifting a racist culture or climate within your organization; creating an anti-racist, anti-oppressive organization; the work of decolonization; equitable search, recruitment and hiring processes; and healthy conflict. / This course is a graduate level course and is part of the Master of Arts in Creative Leadership program.
