Avtar’s DEI Primer Course

In today’s world, diversity is about more than just acknowledging differences in perspectives. It’s about creating equity by providing equal opportunities to everyone in a group, and fostering a sense of inclusion that values and respects each individual. By implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices, organizations can improve employee retention, job satisfaction, trust, and engagement. But simply having a diverse workforce isn’t enough – employees must feel a sense of belonging and experience fairness as well. That’s why we’ve created the Avtar DEI Primer Course, a 5-session program that delves into the benefits of DEI, biases that hinder inclusion, the difference between harassment and bullying, and actionable steps to become more inclusive.
