PSY 604: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Workplace

Goal: Assess diversity, equity, and inclusion as a set of ethical best practices for leading multicultural organizations.
Content: Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are concepts that express the value of humans in the workplace. DEI programs are quickly emerging as an optimal approach to addressing implicit biases in the workplace and society. DEI concepts can be utilized along with traditional human resource practices to create supportive team climates and organizational cultures. The course will examine how I-O psychology practices can be designed to enhance the well-being of individuals, human rights, and working conditions in organizations worldwide. Following the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct, students will examine ethical interpersonal skills and human resource practices needed for effective leadership in multicultural, global work environments.
